The University of Ilorin will set another record next week when it hosts two sitting heads of governments during its 40th Anniversary and 31st convocation ceremonies.
Announcing the programme of activities for the two joint events in separate interviews with Unilorin Bulletin last Tuesday (October 6, 2015), the Chairmen of the 40th Anniversary and Ceremonials Committees, Prof. Y. A. Quadri and Prof. J. O. Atteh respectively, said that  the Nigerian President and Visitor to the University, Muhammadu Buhari, and his Ghanaian counterpart, who is also the Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), John Dramani Mahama, would attend the Convocation ceremony on the institution's Founder's Day (Friday, October 23, 2015).
The Ghanaian President is billed to deliver the University's Anniversary Lecture entitled “Africa's Agenda 2063: Ending Poverty and Ensuring Prosperity in Africa”. 
According to the two Committee Chairmen, the activities for the ceremonies would kick off this Friday (October 16, 2015) with a Special Juma'at Service at the University Central Mosque at 1.00p.m. This would be followed on Sunday, October 18, 2015 by a Special Church Service at the Chapel of Light on the Main Campus at 10.00a.m.
Other highlights of the Ceremonies include the investiture of the fifth Chancellor of the University, HRH (Dr.) Abdulmumuni Kabir Usman, who is also the Emir of Katsina, on Thursday, October 22, 2015; a Convocation Lecture entitled “Educational Reform and Nation Building in Nigeria” to be delivered by Prof. Jacob Kehinde Olupona of the Harvard University, Massachusetts, USA; Award of Prizes, First Degrees, Postgraduate Degrees and Diplomas; unveiling of the Commemorative Book, “Unilorin @ 40: The Soaring Eagle” as well as the commissioning of  about 22 new projects executed by the University administration in the last one year by the Visitor, President Buhari.
Prof. Quadri said that the University deserves kudos for bringing in an international figure in the person of the Chairman of ECOWAS, President John Mahama of Ghana to deliver the 40th Anniversary Lecture, noting that, “it shows that the University of Ilorin is not a local university but an international University by every standard; so if an international figure addresses the students, it attests to the fact that we are actually an international University.”
The 40th Anniversary Committee Chairman said, “We are preparing very hard to have a successful celebration, all hands are already on deck, and we are working hard to ensure that everything is successful.”
On his part, the Ceremonials Committee Chairman, Prof. Atteh, described the forthcoming Ceremonies as “two-celebrations-in-one,” observing that the University of Ilorin has come of age.
Prof. Atteh said, “Our contemporaries, the second-generation universities-where are they? The University of Ilorin has come out of that bunch. Not only did we leave them behind, we caught up with many of the first generation universities and we are competing and we are better than even some of the first generation universities…all the indications show that the University of Ilorin has come of age and thank God at 40, it is a wise University for which the whole of the country accepts it.”
Pointing out that the University has quite a lot of things to be proud of at 40, Prof. Atteh said, “It is not just by the fact that we are stable and peaceful, we also see that in terms of the human and structural development, we have done very well … and like the Vice-Chancellor will say, this is credit to God that consistently, we have had very good leadership in this University, and so we are happy. And at 40, I think it is time to celebrate where we are and to do more to get further ahead.”
Other events lined up for the Ceremonies include a film show titled “Alaaru (Carrier)” written by an alumnus of the University, Tayo Afolayan, at the University Auditorium by 10.00a.m on Monday, October 19, 2015. At 4.00p.m, the National Troupe of Nigeria would thrill members of the University Community with a dance drama titled “IBA” at the Multipurpose Hall, University of Ilorin.
The Vice-Chancellor's Press Briefing has been scheduled for Tuesday, October 20, 2015 by 10.00 am at the University Auditorium. The media interactive session is expected to highlight the achievements of the University in the last one year in particular and the last 40 years in general, the challenges ahead and plans for the future. This will be immediately followed by an Exhibition to showcase the research breakthroughs and academic achievements, as well as end-products of the Apiary, Moringa, Jatropha and other ventures of the University over the last 40 years. The Exhibition continues throughout the Anniversary/Convocation Week at the Auditorium Basement. On the same day, there will be a Convocation Play titled “Tornadoes Full of Dreams”, written by Bode Sowande, at the Performing Arts Theatre at 4.00p.m and 6.00p.m.
There will be a Re-union Luncheon on Wednesday, October 21, 2015, designed to bring together and honour foundation staff and students of the University at the Multipurpose Hall by 11.00a.m and a performance, “Firestorm,” by the National Theatre of Ghana by 5.00p.m at the same venue.
Thursday, October 22, 2015 is the Convocation Ceremony Day One for the Award of Prizes, First Degrees, Postgraduate Degrees and Diplomas, which will take place at the University Auditorium, beginning with the investiture of the new Chancellor, HRH (Dr.) Abdulmumuni Kabir Usman to enable him exercise his powers of approval and award of degrees.
The Ceremonials Committee Chairman, Prof. Atteh said, “Unlike before, the 2015 Convocation Lecture will be part of the Convocation ceremony because of the activities of the 40th anniversary”.
Next is the award of First Degrees and Diplomas for the Faculties of Arts, Education, Law, Management Sciences and Social Sciences, which will be followed by the Chancellor's Cocktail in honour of the Convocation Lecturer that will take place at the Multipurpose Hall at 2.00p.m while an Alumni Get-Together also takes place at the same venue at 6.00p.m on the same day.
Friday, October 23, 2015 is the Convocation Ceremony Day Two at the University Auditorium, at 10.00am prompt. Award of Prizes, First Degrees for graduands in the Faculties of Agriculture, Engineering and Technology,    Basic Medical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Communication and Information Sciences, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Postgraduate Degrees and Diplomas.
A Special Thanksgiving Juma'at Service will take place at the University Central Mosque by 1.00p.m.
At 3.00p.m that Friday, the Visitor, President Muhammadu Buhari will commission 22 projects undertaken by the University administration in the last one year. This would be followed by the Convocation Luncheon and Merit Awards at the Multi-Purpose Hall at 4.00p.m.
And to round off the Anniversary/Convocation activities, a Special Thanksgiving Church Service will take place on Sunday, October 25, 2015 at the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, Unilorin Main Campus at 10.00a.m.
I'm happy to have the school Identity and to be a graduand on d prestigious day of honorary visit by two great leaders of this time on my convocation day. Probitas Doctrinal we do say.

Ask him his plan for you If its not related to how to get a decent and good job or on how to work things out for the Master prog. before and after the wedding. If he doesn't have any gud plan for you, he may probably be selfish about his own wants. His reaction so far leave a doubt if u ll be able to do ur Masters after wedding. Neither his work nor ur age should be a deciding factor. If he LOVES you he will reason with you and be ready to work it out.

lewis33:
If for close to six good tears innocent people were dying and little was done to solve the problem of boko haram not until now when they have political motive to achieve that prompted such decisive action to be taken. I think this calls for questioning the authorities. NIGERIANS CANT BE FOOLED WE ARE WISER AND WE CANT RISK ANOTHER FOUR YEARS OF IRRESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT-FULL STOP

Do you think you understand the in and out of political issues going on? Average man knows what to do to the issue of insecurity in the country, but conditions around may stand as hindrance. "They may cry for CHANGE but never had the practical understanding of things happening. Lets not be blindfolded. I never support politics sha because its just a game, and the public is the card the PLAYERS manipulate easily due to majorly illiteracy level of the country.
God Bless Nigeria!

BUS ISSUE
School Bus drivers(Baba Ojo) threatening you as if they can make you "face Tanke"

Afghanistan:
Forget that Unilorin o. I was a medical student there and I must say its really overrated. Insufficient classroom,poor conditions,poor structures and also,the lecturers. Majority of the lecturers no sabi anything as most of them are doctors who were just hired to take up lecturing to fill the gap. Imagine the HOD of a department who cannot speak good english and he calls himself a graduate of MB;BS and has a PHD in anatomy only to miseducate students in anatomy. That's why its very difficult to find professors there. Only a few professors. Another problem is the issue with departments. The college of medicine in unilorin don't have enough departments. They don't even have dentistry, physiotherapy, radiography and so on. Even nursing was just recently established. Despite all these, they keep on withdrawing students anyhow, destroying their careers all in the name of medicine. You just have to make the best of everything in this life and try to be successful in all endeavours. Just believe that you'll make it and with hardwork,you will.
Best Regards.

That's Dr M.S Ajao, Anatomy department. Everybody knows him here in school. I just wonder how ABU Zaria will give the man MBBS self.He is a problem for us in Unilorin(UITH)

The stress of the students is the pride we have now even to the extent of being the Best in Nigeria.
Our motto is true: we are "BETTER BY FAR"
I'm waiting for unilorites and Alumni to like this

The pre-eminent position of the University of Ilorin among its peers in Nigeria has again been reaffirmed, as it has been ranked as the first university in the country.In the 2014 University Web Ranking conducted by 4 International Colleges and Universities (4ICU) and released last Tuesday (July 29, 2014),Unilorin was also adjudged the 20th best University in Africa and the 1842nd in the world.The 4ICU, an online ranking agency, is an international higher education search engine and directory reviewing accredited universities and colleges. For the latest exercise, it ranked about 11,307 colleges and universities by web popularity in over 200 countries.With the new ranking, the University of Ilorin's status as the nation's number one University has been given an international confirmation. Statistics released recently by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) after the last Unified Tertiary Institution Matriculations Examination (UTME) showed that the University of Ilorin was the most subscribed university in the country with a total of over 105,000 candidates seeking toenter the University in the 2014/2015 academic session. The University of Benin, Benin City came second in this respect withabout 76,000 admission seekers.Since 2011, the University of Ilorin has maintained a steady rise among most preferred institutions by admission seekersin the country. In 2011, it ranked 8th; it ranked 5th in 2012; 2nd in 2013 and 1st this year.In the 2014 University Web Ranking, the University of Lagos comes second in Nigeria and 21st in Africa while the third position goes to Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, which also comes 26th inAfrica.Also on the ranking table are: the University of Ibadan, 4th in Nigeria and 38th in Africa; the Landmark University, Omu-Aran, Kwara State, 5th in Nigeria and 59th in Africa; Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, 6th in Nigeria and 63rd in Africa; the Federal University, Minna, 7th in Nigeria and 71st in Africa; the University of Benin, 8th in Nigeria and 82nd in Africa; theUniversity of Agriculture, Abeokuta, 9th in Nigeria and 87th in Africa; and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, 10th in Nigeria and 89th in Africa.In his reaction to the new ranking, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali,expressed delight, describing it as “the bestranking for the University so far.”Prof. Ambali congratulated all members of the University community on the new feat, urging all academic and non-academic staff to continue to put in their best in the service of the University. “The latest ranking is one of the best so far by any university in Nigeria”, the Vice-Chancellor said, adding that “we should strive to become the best in Africa by the next ranking.”

Greetings, if u need accommodation or knows someone that will need accommodation during the post UTME week can contact me at a cheap price- 08185250072. Places around sch like Sanrab, Oke-odo, and Tanke generally are available. I will advice the aspirants that you should not rush to registration, the earlier u register the earlier you ll be scheduled for the exam. I guess you understand wat I mean

Pweedylipsmoi:
Sometimes, i just wonder aw pple reason, my younger ones wouldnt even think as low as dis.....so u are sayin oda unis like ui, unilag, oau, eksu and so on dont av school farms tooo......just cos its uni of agriculture doesnt mean d only stuff dey do dere is farmin nd 4 ur info funaab has engineerin courses nd oda science courses like mathematics, biochemistry, microbiology nd so on......just so u know dey av faculty of management science where dey do comm. courses too. ooh, dey came 2nd dis year, am sure u av acces￴s to internet on ur fone, u might as well google it.
PS...i didnt come here to compare funaab nd oda skuls, all am just saying is dat just cos its a uni of agriculture doesnt mean u guys should downgrade it or sumfin nd it doesnt mean its only farm or animal works dey do dere.

Lol.... You dnt need to do advert for ur sch, all is in d brochure. I av friends in ur sch, and i knew all this already, only trying to pull ur legs. Dnt take it personal gurl, we are all students.

Pweedylipsmoi:
Who is dis? Funaab is uni of agriculture nd it still cme 2nd in Nigeria last yr....where were dose real universities then...some pple just talk wifout thinking

So are you saying you have smart boards in ur farm sites? And besides, what position are u dis yr?

Stop beefing Unilorin.... Start praying for God's intervention in ASUU case.
One FUNAABite said their product speak for them.... Funny dude, we are not here to discuss crop products o. May be u go to market to advertise ur product.... SMH

I have been reading guys posts and i cudnt stop laughing...... Those guys saying their schs have it already think Unilorin is just abt to start using smart boards, i pity u. Unilorin have been using it for so long for some standard classes like their college of health sciences UITH<check my prev post>. They only want to make it a general stuff. If u dnt knw wot it means, it means unilorin is embracing ICT world of lecturing, we are throwing away chalk and marker. Im nt surprised, some pple dnt even knw wot is a smart board, i pity una
You cant see unilorites online here, we are preparing for resumptn<oct 5>. The thread is all urz. No work na, ASUU strike don give una work

Kudos to my Funny jealous guys frm other schls. Unilorin has been using smart boards for some classes already, for e.g already existed at d college of health science, new theatres built <eg GLT>and some classrooms meant for final yr or PG stdnts. They only want to make it available in all theatres now.
The aspect Unilorin is gud at is d area of planning and organizatn, they can never put a small smart board in a lecture theatre relative to its size. Have u been to d sch Auditorium b4? Thats a gud example
Let me gist my fellow stdnts in other schls, have u heard of Unilorin Combo card for both students and staffs? Its a multipurpose card that can serve as Money transaction<e.g sch fee payment just like ATM> Accessibility to classrooms, sch clinic, hostel, library, etc. And also serving its primary purpose as an I.D Card. This is 1st in Nigeria univesities.......... We are truly better by far< plus enough stress sha>

Who says Ilumsa(unilorin) won by luck? Not now Ilumsa have been winning intercollegiate competition. Ilumsa won prof Ojuawo intercollegiate quiz competition held on Dec 08 2012. That Oau was there and they couldn't do anything. Unilorin is better by far in academics.
College of health science Univ of Ilorin is not a college you can use 15 yrs to study medicine, we don't train dullards bt brilliant and sharp minds.
Congratz to the new elected Ilumsa president "Babs"...... Im happy to be a student of the college of health science
UNILORIN our alma mater we sing

Had i known, i 4 don bone d match sef at d expense of ma time to read 4 test. Now headache dey wori me, i no fit read 4 2mao test. E don tey i get headache watchin Nigeria match.

leksbore: i heard dat a new list wil be realesed on matric day,hw true is dis

That person does not know the meaning of matriculation at all.

Yes u can use it so far u re nt putting in for Medicine and surgery

To say d fact, Univ. of Ilorin does not lay much concern or emphasis on O'level results. Even if u have credit all through in O'level, u can apply for even Medicine and might b admitted. The main thing is your UTME and post UTME score, and follow d correct procedure. E.g: don't choose wrong subjects combination in ur UTME exam.
If you want to apply for Medicine you must have minimum of 240(but it is advisable to work more than that, medicine is highly competitive). And post-UTME minimum of 70%. For other courses, i ll advice minimum of 220. Though, somes courses cut off mark is 200 but most generally known courses are 220.
Im also a student of College of health science, Univ of Ilorin.

At Rudysmith, i sincerely have to tell you that you don't have sense, better think of your life. Messi's achievement should be a challenge to you. But IDIOT like you will never reason. Go dip your head in hot water abeg.
