Disputed The exact sentence appears verbatim in the provided PDF/article, and the publication date is March 9, 2026. However, the source attributes the article to multiple individual authors—including C.O. Afolabi, J.D. Adekunle, M.I. Oyeniran, S.O. Oyelakin, and others—not to S.O. Oyelakin alone, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote.
