Femi Adebayo’s Work Becomes Subject of Academic Research at OAU

Renowned actor Femi Adebayo has achieved a new milestone as his artistic work becomes the focus of academic research at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).

The actor expressed excitement after meeting Oyinda Arike, an OAU student, who presented her research titled: “The Aesthetics of Oral Performance in Femi Adebayo’s Seven Doors.”

Adebayo described the moment as deeply fulfilling, noting that it was inspiring to see his creative work transcend the stage and screen into academic study.

“Grateful to see my art echo beyond the stage and screen, into academia. What started as passion and discipline has grown into something bigger—a movement of its own,” he said.

This milestone highlights the expanding influence of Nigerian cinema and performance art within academic and cultural circles.
