UNILORIN Produces Only Quality Graduates – VC Ambali

University of Ilorin, UNILORIN products
have been properly moulded through
the furnace of the University
academically and morally – Ambali.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University
of Ilorin, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali
(OON), has expressed confidence in
the quality of graduates produced by
the institution, saying they have
been trained not only in learning
but also in sound character.
Prof. Ambali stated this last Tuesday,
(November 24, 2015) when the
Deputy Director, Mobilisation of the
National Youth Service Corps (NYSC),
Mr. Sanusi Abdulrasheed, visited him
in his office. The NYSC official was in
the University for a pre-mobilisation
briefing for final year students who
were getting ready for their one-year
compulsory national service.
The Vice-Chancellor, who was
represented by the Deputy Vice-
Chancellor (Research, Technology
and Innovation), Prof. Gabriel
Olatunji, observed that graduates of
the institution have been exposed to
challenges and have developed the
skills to solve problems.
He said, “With particular regard to
our prospective corps members here,
we certainly can beat our chests and
say that we always give you good
ambassadors”.
The Vice-Chancellor said that
wherever they are, the Unilorin
products have “always demonstrated
that they graduated from this
University not only in learning but
also in sound character that matter.
So, we can always give you that
assurance that our students are well
brought up. They have been properly
moalded through the furnace of the
University academically and
morally”.
He noted that the NYSC has remained
relevant and significant to national
life over the years, saying the
Scheme had been bedeviled by
challenges, in particular, the
insurgency posed by the Boko Haram
insurgents in the North-eastern part
of the country.
He, however, commended the NYSC
for doing everything possible
towards alleviating the suffering of
the corps members and making life a
bit comfortable for them.
In his remarks, the Deputy Director,
Mobilisation, NYSC Abuja, Mr.
Abdulrasheed, explained that the
purpose of the visit was to educate
the prospective corps members on
what they need to know about the
process of mobilisation to facilitate
and guarantee a hitch-free process,
especially with the deployment of
online procedures in the
mobilisation process.
Speaking earlier, the Deputy
Registrar, Student Affairs, Mrs.
Kikelomo Sallee, said that the
sensitisation was important in order
to guarantee a hitch-free
mobilisation exercise, which, in the
past, was usually fraught with some
challenges.
Present on the occasion were the
Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic),
Prof. (Mrs.) N.Y.S. Ijaiya; the
University Librarian, Dr. Joseph
Omoniyi; the Deputy Bursar, Mr.
Munir Dere, the Deputy Registrar, Mr
M. S. Adegoke, who represented the
Registrar, and the Deputy Director,
Corporate Affairs, Mr. Kunle Akogun.
