The title of the first African professor is often attributed to Enoch Sontonga, who was a notable figure in South Africa. However, he was primarily known for his contributions to music and education rather than for holding a professorship. In terms of formal academic positions, the first African professor is often regarded as Professor A. A. F. K. S. Adebayo, who became a professor of mathematics at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria in the early 1960s. The distinction can vary based on different criteria and contexts.
