The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali (OON), has said that the University has continued to maintain its Number One position among universities in the country because it is “blessed with a crop of dedicated staff, who take their jobs seriously”.

Prof. Ambali, who stated this in Abuja penultimate Wednesday (December 23, 2015) during a visit to the Federal Ministry of Education, said that the choice of the University by most admission seekers in the country is due to its over 15 years uninterrupted academic calendar.

The Vice-Chancellor, who was responding to a question posed to him by the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, on “why Unilorin is the most preferred university among admission seekers in the country”, said, “The University started on a good footing as a branch of the University of Ibadan and within nine months, we were upgraded to a standard University and since then we have been championing the course of quality education.”

Prof. Ambali explained further, “We ensure that we give the best education deserved. In the last 15 years, we have never closed our doors to our students. We have a dedicated crop of both academic and non-teaching staff that take their jobs seriously. We try to work towards our mission by ensuring that we create the enabling environment conducive for teaching and learning, and we cherish very much that when you come to the University of Ilorin you will feel proud to belong to the academic environment. We also ensure that the maintenance culture that is lacking in some universities is well adhered to”.

Pointing out that the University has zero tolerance to vices such as cultism, examination malpractices, indecent dressing, corruption, and laziness to work, among others, the Vice-Chancellor said, “We have a well-cultured system on ground that whoever is caught will face the disciplinary committee and if found guilty will be asked to go and that has also given us a unique picture of a university”.

“We continue to sustain whatever we initiated”, Prof. Ambali disclosed, explaining that “in the last three years, we started a programme of empowering all our students with PC tablets. This was well received by all and even this year will not be a difference. In a couple of weeks to come we will be distributing another set of PC tablets to our new students”.

The Vice-Chancellor also told the Minister, “We also make sure that our staff abide by the rules of the game. We make sure that they know that the University belongs to them and that has been demonstrated. For instance, the University ASUU has built hostel for our students and constructed shopping mall for members of the University Community”.

Prof. Ambali said that the University of Ilorin also has high regards for international scholarship. He said, “We have a number of MoUs with a number of international partners. We also have quite a number of international students. We also have a very good and robust research outfit. We also won a total of 10 research grant awards out of 22. The University of Ilorin is the first to attain such height in terms of research grants awards and among several other achievements and that has made the University of Ilorin truly the preferred choice”.

Also with the Minister during the meeting were the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof. Julius Okojie, and the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Dr. Folasade Yemisi Esan, among other top ministry officials.

UNILORIN MAKING NAIJA PROUD SINCE 500 BC

The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research, Technology and Innovation) of the University of Ilorin, Prof. Gabriel Olatunji, has said that the management of the University is set to put the University on the world map, as it gears up to break new grounds in the area of technological development. Prof. Olatunji disclosed this last Tuesday (December 1, 2015) while featuring on 'Oro to n lo', a Yoruba current affairs programme on Unilorin 89.3 FM. The Deputy Vice-Chancellor said that a pointer to the University's seriousness in realising this lofty goal was the successful manufacture of drone by a team of the University scientists led by Prof. S. A. Abdulkareem of the Department of Chemistry. According to Prof. Olatunji, the drone will be deployed for such functions as disaster management; security measure; weather monitoring; aerial imaging, and public safety. It will also take the pictures of crowd and towns, record events, dispatch letters, and give security reports of potential dangers on the campus. Prof. Olatunji disclosed that efforts are being made by the University management to ensure that in the next 10 years, products like Unilorin motor cars, Unilorin motorcycles, etc. will be in the Nigerian and African markets. It will be recalled that two sets of drones were displayed during the just concluded 31st Convocation/40thAnniversary of the University to the admiration of the guests and members of the University community. The Deputy Vice-Chancellor pointed out that the drones were manufactured at the University of Ilorin with imported parts from abroad. The German-trained scientist disclosed that the management is doing everything possible to make sure that the University of Ilorin remains better by far not only in terms of academic excellence but also in research findings and discoveries. Prof. Olatunji also disclosed that the Unilorin Virology Centre is underway, pointing out that when completed, it will be saddled with the responsibility of conducting research into, identifying and combating new and existing diseases in the society. The Deputy Vice-Chancellor stressed further that on completion, the Virology Centre would drastically reduce foreign medical tourism by many Nigerian politicians and money bags. “It will help the institution in achieving its mandate of providing community service through prevention and treatment of viral diseases”, he said. Prof. Olatunji also described the Central Research Laboratory (CRL) of the University as a world class resource with first class equipment courtesy of the commitment of the Vice- Chancellor of the nation's most patronised University, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali (OON). The Deputy Vice-Chancellor, who commended the management of the University for making funds available for research, appealed to the Federal Government to make more funds available to tertiary institutions in the country to meet their needs. Prof. Olatunji described the choice of Prof. Isaac Adewole as the new Minister of Health as a wise decision, saying that the immediate past Vice- Chancellor of the University of Ibadan is the right man for the job. The Professor of Chemistry also urged academics never to shy away from politics, saying that the country will remain in the cesspool of poverty and underdevelopment if technocrats from the education sector prefer to be cowards. While commenting on the current fuel scarcity in the country, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor observed that until the government as well as other well- meaning Nigerians divert their attentions from crude oil to agriculture, the problem will continue to persist. He urged President Muhammadu Buhari to make agriculture his priority and to encourage local farmers through soft loans. Prof. Olatunji however disclosed that the University administration has invested heavily on date palm plantation, oil palm plantation, Teak plantation, and Jatropha plantation, all of which will eventually boost the institution's Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) on maturation.
