OCTOBER 29, 2013 BY SUCCESS
NWOGU 3 Comments Abiodun Kazeem Abiodun Kazeem is the first graduate to bag the first class
grade in the Faculty of Law, University of Ilorin, SUCCESS NWOGU writes If you call him a jinx breaker, you are not far from the truth. The reason is that many students had tried to graduate from the University of Ilorin with a first class degree in Law for many years, but they failed for one reason or the other. Finally, on Tuesday, however, Abiodun Kazeem achieved the feat, drawing accolades from many people. Kazeem studied Common and Islamic Law at the institution, which became a full fledged university in 1976. Achieving this feat, according to him, is something he will always cherish. But he never forgets to note that his march through the system was a tough one. For instance, he recalls that he did not get admission into the university on a platter of gold. He sat for the Joint Admissions Matriculation Board’s examination twice, in the course of which some of his friends tried to convince him to forget about applying again. “The first time I sat for JAMB was in 2007,” Kazeem says. “I did not get the cut-off point. But I was bent on studying law. So, in 2008, I obtained the JAMB form and sat for the examination the second time. I was successful this time around.” Between 2007 and 2008, he worked with one of his uncles, Mr. Tahiru Adeosun, who has a law firm in Ilorin. While the experience might have influenced his academic strides on campus, from his first day in the institution, he had his mind set on obtaining first class degree. Yet, some of his colleagues tried again to discourage him. They reminded him that no one had ever achieved that feat in the institution as far as the faculty was concerned. But he remained resolute. He says, “From the day I entered the university, I wanted to make a first class. I thought that my experience in my uncle’s law firm could be used to optimise my ability. But
some of the challenges I had have to do with the issue that nobody had made it. Some of my colleagues who noted that I was so focused on my studies discouraged me. Many of them said, ‘You can never have it. You do not need to disturb yourself.’’’ Twenty-six-year-old Kazeem, who hails from Iganna in Oyo State, says he is from a polygamous home. His father, Muideen, has 12 children. His mother, Mulika, gave birth to six of them. He states that settling for Law in the higher institution was largely due to the influence of his uncle. Perhaps, he could have read Mass Communication and not Law. According to him, his nickname in secondary school was Mr. Mass Communication, due to his writing skills and gift of oration. He recounts his days at Community Grammar School, Iganna. “I decided to read Law because my uncle, a lawyer, inspired me. I wanted to study
Mass Communication. I was very eloquent and I was in the Press Club in the secondary school. But when I got to my uncle’s chamber, he influenced
and inspired me to read Law. I never dreamt of becoming a lawyer,” he says. Beaming with excitement and a
sense of accomplishment, Kazeem adds that this feat is an honour for his generation and his people in Oyo State. For now, he is preparing for the Law School, after which he will choose between three directions he has envisioned for himself. He hopes to become a lecturer, to inspire young people, practise Law or participate in politics, either actively or passively. Kazeem is one of the 41 graduands from various faculties in the university who bagged first class degrees at the ceremony, with 1,088 making second class upper; 2,435 had second class lower. In the third class degree category are 1,082 students and 214 had ordinary Pass. A further breakdown shows that a total of 5,063 of the 6,713 students that graduated obtained first degrees, 756 got Master’s degrees; 95 bagged Ph.Ds; while 84 got postgraduate diplomas. Speaking during the grand finale of the convocation on Wednesday, President Goodluck
Jonathan, who was represented by the Supervising Minister of Education, Mr. Nyesom Wike, frowned on a situation whereby university graduates lack relevant skills due to poor training that makes them unemployable. He said this was intolerable. He added, “Given this unwholesome development, tertiary institutions ought to make themselves more relevant to solving societal problems and their researches should be more impactful and result-oriented.” The President said the Federal Government alone could not effectively fund universities in the country. He added that all
stakeholders must be involved in cost-sharing to adequately run the institutions. Noting that university teachers must re-orientate themselves and avoid unnecessary strikes, Jonathan called on striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities to call off their lingering strike. He said the FG would systematically continue to address the challenges in the university system. According to him, apart from establishing 12 new federal universities, government has also increased the carrying capacities of existing universities to boost access to higher education. Besides, Jonathan said, the FG had increased the budgetary allocation to education from N234.8bn in 2010 to N426.5bn in 2013. He added that the government was seriously considering the best ways to ensure the implementation of the ‘Report of the Needs Assessment Committee for Universities’. The Vice-Chancellor, UNILORIN, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, said part of the problems facing Nigeria was brain drain and capital flight. He stated that it would take the doggedness of Nigerians to
develop the country to a nation that they would be proud of. He noted that there were still untapped opportunities in the country, adding that the thinking that Nigerians could only survive abroad was erroneous. He urged the graduands to be good ambassadors of their parents and their alma mater. The VC said the institution was making efforts to start new undergradaute programmes in 2014. He noted that part of the challenges facing Africa and Nigeria was the failure of its brilliant young people not returning to Nigeria after their studies abroad. He said, “If you travel abroad for more education, be determined that you will assist your country to make a brain gain out of your skills and insights, rather than being part of the brain drain.”source:www.punchng.com/education/with-first-class-in-law-he-breaks-unilorin-jinx/

in news Hon Zakari Lafia Mohammed is the spokesman of the House of
Representatives and a member
of the House Committee on
Aviation. In this chat, he speaks
on how the committee will
ensure that all necessary avenues are explored to deliver
justice to Nigerians on reckless
spending in government. By Emman Ovuakporie The Minister of Aviation is said to
have gone abroad despite the
N255m cars scandal involving her.
Do you think her action is
appropriate? That is another serious act of
impunity on the part of the
minister. It is also a clear case of
not taking the parliament
seriously, it is rather
unfortunate. All she ought to have done is to delegate her
Permanent Secretary or a
Director in her ministry to carry
out the rituals of signing the
BASA agreement and face
squarely what is on ground for her. The heavens will not fall if
another person signs on behalf
of Nigeria. We will not stop until
we get to the bottom of why
such a huge sum of money was
spent for vehicles. What exactly did the National
Assembly approve for the NCAA?
Take a peep at page six of their
budget, we approved 5 Toyota
Pickup Hilux, 16 Toyota Corolla, 5
Toyota Landcruiser Jeeps, 3 Toyota Hiace buses all at a cost
of N240 million but they
eventually bought 54 vehicles
through the bank lease for the
sum of N643 million which was
financed by the bank. There was no time we discussed the issue
of a lease with them during the
budget defence. I do not want to
preclude this investigative
hearing but we will dis-
passionately seek justice for all Nigerians through this
investigation. Never again in the
history of Nigeria will public
servants take Nigerians for a
ride. But, from all indications, it
appears as if the minister may
not meet your deadline for the
hearing as you are expected to
close shop on Tuesday? If she fails to show up we will
issue a bench warrant to get
her arrested. Arrest! Has it come to that?
This is a national issue that must
be properly thrashed out with
the zeal of a wounded lion. If
need be, we will ask the Speaker
to issue a bench warrant immediately she fails to show up
and she will be arrested. We’ve
given her enough grace as the
committee will sit on Friday,
Monday and Tuesday. All those
excuses given on her behalf will not hold by the time we conclude
our findings. You mentioned that NCAA officials
used two budgets. What do you
mean?
Yes! They are using both the
approved budget and the
unapproved one. In the approved one, we clearly deleted the
purchase of armoured cars and,
in the approved budget,
armoured cars were not
captured. This is a clear case of
ineptitude and negligence of duty which can never be
accepted by Nigerians that we
represent here in the National
Assembly. But why would….?
The simple instruction we gave is
that they should delete the
armoured cars. We argued then
that they do not need such cars
to inspect perimetre fence. It is embarrassing to us and the
entire country.Source:www.vanguardngr.com/2013/10/oduahgate-may-order-arrest-aviation-minister-house-reps/

With the prospect of building the largest petrochemical refinery in Africa now becoming realistic by the day by the business magnate and africa 's richest in the mould of Dangote,Nigeria's importation of the commodity may soon be over bringing to an end a subsidy regime that has made the sector less-attractive to potential investor esp.in refining,furthermore it will thus end the politics of importation being played by the cabals thus saving enough money for the country.the economists and politicians on NL should further help highlite the economic gains of having an 100% efficiency in refining capacity.My questions are 1)will there be surgical dissection in the Petroleum pricing,stagnant or downward?2)what becomes of the importers?4)what happens to Naira-dollar exchange rate?NL TEAM OF INTELLIGENTSIA,ELUCIDATE US MORE

ijaw citizen: Yeah whatever!
$900m is approximately $1b, and that is what 14 states spanning across the entire SW, parts of SS & NC.

So SW's contribution is still roughly N900m and that is the highest amount the Yorubas have ever contributed to the nation's revenue.

you know no person will ever believe ur myopic self full of sentiments and bigotry.N900m,highest so far?ur illiteracy is beyond human comprehension

ijaw citizen: Hey listen you Yoruba man Sammy329, your exonorative tactics isn't working here. The SS produces more than 90% of the country's revenue even this very minute.

And N479 billlion isn't 90% of N1.6 trillion.

I don't know how you figured out certain lazy and unproductive people would produce as much as N5 billion to the Government's revenue!

Figures recently released show that cocoa which is the HIGHEST NON-OIL REVENUE GENERATOR recently attained it highest contribution of N900 million to the FG. And this is probably collected from the entire SW.

it wasnt N900m bt rada $900m.get ur fakts ryt
