The Ode-Irele community witnessed a momentous occasion when Dr. Christopher Akinwumi Ogunlana, Chairman of the Ondo State House of Assembly Health Committee and Public Sanitation, rolled out a mega bursary award to over 100 students from Irele Local Government in higher institutions. This initiative, which forms part of Dr. Ogunlana's educational intervention programs, was warmly applauded by well-meaning individuals and APC party stalwarts in Irele Local Government.


In his speech, Irele Local Government APC Chairman, Chief Z.A. Omoge, expressed satisfaction with the bursary initiative, describing it as a fulfillment of Dr. Ogunlana's campaign promises. He noted that the timely financial aid would make destinies fulfilled and urged all to support Dr. Ogunlana in his future political endeavors.

Similarly, Irele Local Government Council Boss, Hon. (Deacon) Olajide Akinfe, in his address ,expressed appreciation to Dr. Ogunlana' for his bursary award to students , describing it as a huge investment in education that aligns with Mr. Governor's "OUR EASE" agenda on education of the youth.He further advised the beneficiary students to reciprocate the kind gesture with their dedication and commitment to studies,urging them to shun acts inimical to the growth of the society.


The event which also featured a sensitization program on the dangers of drug abuse, had Mrs. Jeyifous Yetunde O .DCN, the Deputy Commandant of the Ondo State NDLEA, as guest speaker. In her lecture,she identified peer pressure, need for societal acceptance, and the desire to relax the brain as major reasons for drug abuse among youth ,and as such identified memory loss, insanity, premature death, and stigmatization as effects of the menace urging youth to desist from it.

Responding, Dr. Ogunlana who attributed his reason for organizing the sensitization program to upsurge in cases of drug abuse among youth, which he admitted required urgent attention,said his last two years have achieved a tremendous progress to the constituency contrast with the misinformation,that he had not delivered on his campaign promises,stating that his achievements in the last 27months in the constituency included the donation of multi+million naira blood bank refrigerators ,first of its kind to lrele General Hospital and other medical equipment for effective health care delivery installation of solar-powered street lights, as well as provision of financial assistance to numerous number of constituents and other too numerous to mention.He further pledged to sustain the tempo urging those who have not benefitted on the need for patience saying plans were on top gear to bring more dividends of democracy to the constituency.

According to him "Contrary against what people say,we have done a lot of things ,giving money to many people who contacted us,for one problem or the other. ,Only that we cannot be mentioning names. If you have not benefitted ,just exercise patience as we are planning to make it continuous exercise. "

" We have also contributed to economic development of this local government in the last 2years by facilitating employment for our people in the last recruitment exercise at both TESCOM and SUBEB. The records are there."

" Even before now,l facilitated employment of our people into civil service in Akure. I could also count countless number of constituents whom.l have assisted in term of school fees,and other needs,only that l am not the type that mentions name.",Ogunlana added

The Lawmaker, equally charged the people to feel free to engage him on issues relating to his policies saying he was ready to offer quality leadership to them.

The event was concluded with the presentation of bursary awards to over 100 beneficiaries from across ten wards of Irele Local Government as Comrade Poroye,President National association of Irele local government students expressed appreciation on behalf of the beneficiaries to Dr. Christopher Ogunlana,pledging the support of the students for his administration.

How many places have you been to Ondo state , you better don't say what you don'n know anything about. He has done the right thing.

Yes I concured, but those companies manufacturing the solar panel should come to Nigeria and start producing it locally here, base on that we would be able to provide jobs and grow our economy.

It is indeed a nice project, Akpabio really done well in Akwa Ibom, and he is also doing well as Senate president. Don't mind the lie lie Natasha who will continue to cry all over the world.

Shedding a crocodile tears is an emotional blackmail. You don't chop am finish. Sometimes you talk less, your beauty is pushing you to the brick wall.

Congratulations to Ngolo Kante

And these the supposed youths that are planning to rule Nigeria engaging in frivolous and mundane things, I really cried and pitied them.

It's just unfortunate that the man has to end his life the way it did, wonmanizing is another thing , taking into drug is another unfortunate issue, he allowed himself to be rattled and control by alcohol and the resultant effect was the ultimate price he paid. Even though the wife is with him and not a busy Carrier woman he will still engaged in the act.

Has Okupe become a comedian?

Abi Comedian of the century. The man is already demented. Shaiiiiiiiii

Abia state governor the worst Governor in Nigeria, 18 months unpaid salaries to Doctors in a state institution. The governor is a wicked fellow. Wetin i know self. Let them continue to abuse Jagaban while Lagos is moving forward.

[quote author=Drsnives post=92752219]Thanks for your suggestion, but have weighed my options bro and I think it's little bit okay n I have equally prayed about it. It's just for a while let's say from now till December let me raise like 250k then I'll start up something come January[/quote

Great and God help and reward you]

Good for her, wetin make man come do, got rewarded after dog style banging.

Why is this man wasting his money on a journey that is not certain. Too desperate a man.

This figure you gave not correct, because you did not take into consideration children born in private hospitals and traditional birth attendants (TBA) all over the country.

Honouring an ex-convict this na serious waa oo. wetin I know sef.

This is a good riddance to bad rubish, how can she not be addmmited into her own course of choice just because of on stupid quota system you're claiming to be operating in your school? Does this really make sense at all, so, any candidates who scored far below her from another state will be allowed and addmmited. this is nothing but a pure madness. When is merits and performances going to be rewarded in this country called nigeria? that is the more reason why we are not moving forward as a nation.

[quote author=MoIbrahim post=85057661]Honestly *the person who wrote this piece “Injustice to one is injustice to all” is completely ignorant of the process of admission in Ahmadu Bello University Zaria,*

For those of us that wrote Jamb 3 times passed all and failed to secure admission whom also are from the catchment area of the University felt the same way but later got to understand the process & how it works!

There are some unique facts about ABU that we must appreciate which includes among so many others; ABU is the most cosmopolitan University in the whole of Africa not even Nigeria �� it’s no news that ABU Zr has students from each and every of the 774 local governments in �� which makes it a mini ��.

When it comes to teaching staff, ABU is the only record holder of having atleast 1 senior staff from each and every of the 36 states in Nigeria and it has remained so till date. So in essence not even the University of Abuja that is in the heart of Nigeria can boast of having students from all the 774 local governments or a staff from each of the 36 states in the Country. Then we should be proud of ABU Zr.

I can personally attest to the fact that in each and every Departmental admission guideline clearly spells out three criteria’s and is religiously adhered to which includes: 1. Merrit list 45% of the total students admitted to the dept (Atleast 2 to 3 students with the highest score from each state). 2. Catchment area list 35% (like any other university in Nigeria ABU considers students from its selected States as it catchment area). & 3. Less Educationally developed states list 20% (in other to give candidates in some selected states that are not as educationally developed as the others a chance to be in ABU as they are at a disadvantage and cannot stand their colleagues from the opposite side) which makes 100% for each department and in doing this no state is left out. Please tell me which other University in Nigeria can say same of their institution? I’ll tell U the answer for free “NONE”.

As regards the case of one *Goodness Thomas, she would have made it for the MBBS Merit list from her state but unfortunately she was number 7 on the list in terms of jamb score from Niger state* and only the first two were picked as it is in d case with all other 36 states and the FCT, she also wouldn’t have made it for the 2nd & 3rd criteria for admission as the number from the Medical and Dental Board limits ABU MBBS to only 120students per session so please do the maths how would U have admitted Goodness into MBBS and justify it even if U are on the admissions committee?

It is also important that I call the attention of the writer of this mischievous piece, that Goodness Thomas was quick to change her 1st choice to ‘Anatomy’ from MBBS seeing she didn’t make the 1st list and she was admitted in the 2nd list of admission which she accepted gladly and quickly, so why are people been mischievous and sharing very wrong information on social media?

I have seen the list of about 25 candidates this year alone from Kwara, Benue and Kogi states who scored above 300 and didn’t make the list for MBBS but unfortunately their representatives don’t have social media handles to speak out on their behalf.

This year alone ABU received more than 40,000 qualified candidates which is the largest number of applicants for any university in Nigeria and Jamb gave ABU the clearance to take in 11,000 candidates which is also the highest number any university is taking in this year, so who will speak for the over 29,000 qualified candidates? Even ASUU is crying that accademic staff are over stretched due to the number of lecturer to student at the moment.

As it stands, ABU is among the 1st generation of universities in Nigeria and there has been plans from the management under the leadership of Prof. Ibrahim Garba with support from the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) and the Ministry of Education for ABU Zr to Migrate into a fully pledged Post-Graduate University and that can only happen if the number of undergraduates intake is cut by more than half the number its currently taking in.

So please let’s call all mischief makers to order and if anyone has any issue on admission of a candidate to write to the University rather than embarking on campaign of calmuny on social media to dent the reputation of a University we all hold Dear.

Abubakar A Rafindadi.

So, because of quota system you claimed your School followed, merit and performance should be thrown into the trash bin? you now mean that somebody who scored far below her from another state will be admitted into mbbs why she go study a course she did not bargain for? When will merits and performances be rewarded in this country called nigeria? this is entirely bad and uncalled for because of stupid quota system you claimed to be operating in your school we have just do away with merit. It's high time we come out of all this nonsense quota and catchment of a thing and do the right as a country. this your narratives does not hold water at all.

when are you going to be delivered from this hard drug you snnif on a regular basis. I guess is only God. is Atiku you supported a southerner. Idiotic fellow.

During GEJ regime, Okorocha did not see anything wrong for the Yoruba's not to have any significant position In that regime. It is too late in day to cry even when the head is off, they the Ibos shot themselves on the foot.
