The much-needed succour came
last Monday (June 17, 2013) for
a renal patient, and 100 level
Science Education student of
the University of Ilorin,
Babatunde Lukman, as the
University authorities donated
N2.5 million towards his
treatment.
A cheque for the amount was
presented by the Vice-
Chancellor, Prof. AbdulGaniyu
Ambali, to the Director, Unilorin
Health Services, Dr. (Mrs.) M. O.
Ajiboye, at a solemn event
attended by Lukman's mother,
Mrs. Khadijat Babatunde, the
three Deputy Vice-Chancellors,
Prof. R. A. Lawal (Academic),
Prof. Y. M. Fakunle (MS), and
Prof. F. A. Oladele (RTI); the
Registrar, represented by Mrs.
R. A. Okojie; the Bursar, Mr. Ayo
Sijuwola; the University
Librarian, Dr. J. O. Omoniyi; the
Dean, Faculty of Education, Prof.
A. S. Olorundare; and the Sub-
Dean, Student Affairs, Dr. A.
Yusuf, among other senior
officials of the University.
Lukman, who is currently on
admission at the University of
Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) for
kidney failure, is in dire need of
kidney transplant for which a
sum of N3 million is required.
Presenting the cheque, Prof.
Ambali stated that the
University is one big family and
that it is a good thing to stand
up and support a member of
the family.
The Vice-Chancellor described
the gesture of the patient's
student colleagues who had
earlier raised N830,000 towards
his treatment as an expression
of what the University stands
for.
Prof. Ambali said, “Whatever
happens to one happens to all.
Once a student steps into the
campus, the University will care
for him from the first day to
his last day in the school as a
family member,” adding that the
University has procedures in
place to help students
academically and health-wise.
Waxing philosophical, the Vice-
Chancellor said that “medical
challenge can come to anyone
at any time and at any age,”
stressing that it is important to
support Lukman as quickly as
possible.
Prof. Ambali noted that doctors
could only treat their patients
but it is only God who heals. He
expressed hope that the
resources made available would
make the best treatment
available for Lukman and that
the doctors would treat him
successfully.
The Vice-Chancellor thanked the
students for standing by their
colleague while also thanking
the Governor of Kwara State,
Dr. AbdulFattah Ahmed, for his
donation of N1 million and the
Senator representing Kwara
Central, Senator Bukola Saraki
and other well wishers who
have made contributions
towards the treatment of the
student.
Earlier, the Sub-Dean, Student
Affairs, Dr. A. Yusuf, explained
how the student slumped and
was eventually diagnosed with
kidney failure.
He commended the University
for being prompt in its
intervention and being
responsible for the first aid
treatment the patient has been
receiving. He noted that
students have joined in the
struggle to save Lukman's life
by raising over N1, 182,000.00.
The Sub-Dean also noted that
the Muslim Students Society of
Nigeria had also raised
N625,000.00 in addition to the
N1 million promised by the
Kwara State Governor,
disclosing that Senator Saraki
had promised to make
significant contributions to the
treatment of the student who
hails from the senator's
constituency.
In her remarks, the Director,
Unilorin Health Services, Dr.
(Mrs.) Ajiboye, said that the
University has good welfare
package for its students. She
explained that students get
free medical services even for
repeated health visits.
She explained that after the
student was diagnosed with the
medical condition, the University
took care of the initial bill and
commended the University
management for the gesture.
The Dean, Faculty of Education,
Prof. Olorundare, thanked the
University on behalf of Lukman's
family and students of the
Faculty.
Prof. Olorundare also thanked
the Unilorin Health Services, the
Students Affairs Unit,the
students body and the entire
University community for their
care and sacrifice.

The Federal Government on
Saturday said of the 1,735,720
students that registered for this
year’s Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination, only
520,000 will gain admission.
Addressing journalists at the
Federal Government College,
Suleja, Niger State, after
monitoring the examination,
Minister of Education, Prof.
Ruqayyatu Rufai, blamed this on
the low-carrying capacity of the
tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
She said, “The major challenge is
a country like Nigeria having 1.7
million sitting for examination.
The space we have is 520,000
for federal, states, private
universities, polytechnics and
colleges of education.
“If one million passed, what are
we going to do with the rest
500,000? We will not expand the
carrying capacity without
expanding the facilities.
“What are we going to do with
the large number of students
out there? I feel the pain. Mr.
President is very much
concerned. If you have students
that have passed examination
and they cannot have access,
you can imagine their thought in
the long run.”
Rufai called on private firms and
individuals to invest in tertiary
education.
Responding to a question on the
high fees charged by private
universities, she said the legal
department was looking into the
ministry’s right to challenge the
fees.
Although she agreed that
private investors had the right
to recoup their money, the
minister said government would
consider legal options to
regulate the situation.
The minister also denied
knowledge of any White Paper
recommending the scrapping of
the UTME and the National
Examination Council.
She said, “It has become a very
controversial issue. I have made
a statement before the National
Assembly that the Federal
Government has a white paper
on this. I’m not aware that NECO
and JAMB will be scrapped. If we
are not aware, what are we
going to make an analysis out
of? Government has not taken
decision on that.”
Rufai further blamed improper
shading of answer sheets by
candidates for non-release of
their results.
“If they don’t shade their papers
correctly, they may not have
results,” she added.
Meanwhile, the Joint Admissions
and Matriculation Board has
arrested a middle-aged man who
was identified as Isaac, for
alleged impersonation at one of
the Dual Based Test centres in
Abuja.
The JAMB Registrar/Chief
Executive. Prof. Dibu Ojerinde,
said the registration number on
his slip and answer sheet did not
tally.
“The owner of the slip is from
Enugu. He came here to
impersonate another person. He
had been handed over to civil
defence who will hand him over
to the police,” he said.
Meanwhile, no fewer than nine
candidates were feared dead,
while six were injured in an auto
crash on the Aba-Port Harcourt
Expressway on Friday.
The victims were said to be on
their way to their examinations
centre.
Police Public Relations Officer,
Abia State Command, Mr.
Geoffrey Ogbonna, confirmed the
incident in an interview with the
News Agency of Nigeria in
Aba.
He said seven persons including
the driver died instantly, while
two others died later in hospital.
Ogbonna said the candidates
were travelling on a Hiace bus
with number plate Rivers XY 249.
He explained that the driver,
around 10.40am rammed into a
truck with number plate Lagos
XC 109 SLK, which was parked
off the road at Obeaku-Ihie,
Ugwunagbor Local Government
Area of Abia State.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost a child while living in the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named "Ford."
Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln" made by "Ford."
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
And here's the "kicker": A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

AND...

Lincoln was shot in a theater and the assassin ran to a warehouse...
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and the assassin ran to a theater...
