I'll start reading over the next few days and then begin to make comments. I am normally a slow reviewer - if that is likely to be a problem, please let me know as soon as possible. I tend to directly do copy-editing and minor improvements as I'm reading the article rather than list them here; if there is a lot of copy-editing to be done I may suggest getting a copy-editor (on the basis that a fresh set of eyes is helpful). Anything more significant than minor improvements I will raise here. I see the reviewer's role as collaborative and collegiate, so I welcome discussion regarding interpretation of the criteria.

::::The article has acquired an even longer embedded list now in a new Work section. The advice on this is at
Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Embedded_lists#Lists_of_works_and_timelines; also worth considering is
WP:INDISCRIMINATE,
WP:NOTEVERYTHING, and
WP:SPLITLIST. There is limited value for the reader of listing every workshop the subject has been involved in, and every article he has published. It is an overwhelming list that is unwieldy and indiscriminate. Wikipedia is a general encyclopaedia for the general public - the articles are intended to give an overview of the subjects they cover in order to provide the reader with a useful guide; the sources consulted, recommended further reading, and external links, provide the reader with resources to research further if deeper or more detailed information is required. If the subject's works are deemed to be sufficiently notable in themselves, the lists can be split off in
WP:Summary style to become standalone lists, like
Charles Dickens bibliography, or
The Rolling Stones discography, or
List of scientific publications by Albert Einstein, etc. I'm not sure the articles Adewole has written or the conferences he has attended would in themselves be considered notable enough to justify a standalone list, though in my experience the Wikipedia community is more tolerant toward the notability of standalone lists than they are to articles. You may wish to consider a standalone list, though my personal recommendation would be to summarise the information contained in the Work section in a sourced prose statement, and provide a link to an external site for the detailed list.

*There are two images used in the article.
File:Isaac Adewole.jpeg and
File:Isaac Adewole2.jpg. They both need author information. If you took the photos yourself, you can either use your own name or your Wikipedia name. If someone else took the photos, you would need to supply the source where you found the images, or if they are unpublished and supplied to you by the author, you would need to ask the author to either upload the images themself, or email
Wikipedia:Volunteer Response Team with a statement that they are the author, and that they are granting permission for the images to be used.
File:Isaac Adewole.jpeg is curious as there is text attached to the image - looking at the technical data it appears the original image has been Photoshopped during which the text was added, rather than it being a scan of a magazine. The text is not actually needed on the image itself. That information is normally supplied on the image page rather than the image itself, and then when using the image in an article, the editor can create their own caption.
