universities; The University of Ibadan, The Ahmadu Bello University, The University of
Nigeria, The Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-
Ife and The University of Lagos. We have also
honoured the best WAEC candidates in each
year and the best secondary schools in Nigeria
based on WAEC results. What are you telin me,

Abegi which stupiid jinx?

Evil lecturers should be sacked. How can you consistently prevent brilliant students from getting a first class for 20 years?! And this school is not even among the top 200 in the world. Shame to the faculty.

Congratulations young man. They tried but failed to repress you. May others be as favoured.

He is not an engineer....He is a graduate of engineering.

greatiyk4u:
Na so ABU engineering students dull reach?.......my school produce more than 20first class Engineers yearly

it is not by skul but by standard.

phantom:
He is neither Igbo nor Yoruba otherwise this thread for don reach 100pages.....lol.

Which is quite relieving. Otherwise, the tribal warriors would have taken over the thread.

Congratulations..

Engineering ain't easy

Daily Trust verify your information before you go to press.
A.B.U Deparrment of Mechanical Engineering graduated 5 1st Class students that were U04 sets.
I will give their names so you verify;
1.Idris
2.Dotun
3.Hamisu
4.Shola
5. ( can't get the name now)
All went for the PTDF scholarship abroad.
Idris was at the American University of Science and Technology, Abuja. Where he collected an award presented by the fmr Minister for Finance(Dr. Ngozi Iwella).
Hamisu is now a lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
Shola is a lecturer in a College in the United States of America.
Dotun is in the United Kingdom excelling over there.
The no. 5 don't have any info on him, but I'm sure he's holding himself well.

My reason for chronicling these guys is that; they were THE BEST,they were good mehn.......
Up till now since they graduated 2010, their solved past questions are still being used in the department, courtesy of all the U04 set who made good use of them

For the records, if you doubt me, go find out and don't ask me who I am for reeling out all this, it's obvious. But any Mech boy or Fac. Of Engr U04 reading this will know who's posting this.
Adios!!!!!

PROUDLY ABUSITE.

Tukur Bayero THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER e: 1st class in Engineering: How student broke 20-yr-old jinx in ABU With respect to an interview published on 12th February, 2016 in Encounters column of the Daily Trust, I am Bayero Muhammad Tukur and I wish to rectify some mixed up facts contained in the interview. The caption just before the proper interview stated that, I graduated with a first class degree in Engineering after the "Faculty of Engineering" has failed to produce a first class graduate for 20 years. This is mixed up. Actually, the Faculty of Engineering of Ahmadu Bello University has been graduating first class students. In fact since my arrival at the Faculty as a 100 level student, there is no single graduating year that a first class graduate is not made in the faculty. However, I just happen to be the best graduating student from my department with a First Class honours recently.This department is called "Water Resources and Environmental Engineering" (WREE). This department was fractioned from the old Civil Engineering department of the faculty in the year 1980. It's main aim was to train Civil Engineers who will specialize in aspects of Hydrology, Hydraulics and Environmental Engineering. The faculty of Engineering in ABU usually produce best of the First Class in the School in almost every academic session. At a point. Gazali Tanimu emerged the best graduating student in the whole school and he is from Chemical Engineering. More so, in the set that graduated in 2005 from the Water resources and environmental engineering department. There was a first class Student in the set. This is to bring to your notice that even the 20 years was exaggerated. This rectification is really necessary as it is better done than not. I wish to correct this so that it does not look like an intentional academic fraud from my side instead of the mixed up story that it is. Thank you. Bayero Muhammad Tukur

phantom:
He is neither Igbo nor Yoruba otherwise this thread for don reach 100pages.....lol.

Good for him. Now, let him go and compete with other Igbo and Yoruba first class engineering degree holders for NUC's PRESSID tests, let's see how he fares. Hopefully, his people will not, after the test, be wailing how the result did not federal character. A gem does not need much burnishing to shine forth.

phantom:
He is neither Igbo nor Yoruba otherwise this thread for don reach 100pages.....lol.

neither tom nor jerry you mean?

hmm

congratulation guy. I thank God for your life

Oga your head is valid. That Shola is a Yoruba boy from kogi... The guy is very good, he was the one breaking down maths 105 for us back then at MC13. The guy later proceeded to Ohio University then sha... I also finished from Electrical Eng'g. Proudly an Abusite!

Good for you bro, unfortunately I am yet to get engaged on the field.

This should tell anyone that the biggest problem in Nigeria is often generated between theses two tribes. The funny thing is the hausa man would just sit in the background, laughing at them like a guy watching two women quarreling.

Congratulations Tukur and best wishes !!! Poor journalism from Daily Trust: poor preamble on the exact record broken.(who was the last record older in the last 20yrs, or faculty of engineering started producing graduates in just last 20 yrs, no record of CGPA)

Ahmadu Bello University Zaria. Incase you are in doubt ask about these guys vandu, olaofe and steve.

if you get courage name that your school

DT: How does an engineer’s mistake kill millions?
Tukur: By discipline, I am a civil engineer, a hydraulic engineer,
and an environmental engineer; in my design of a structure, if I
make a mistake of 0.1 mm, it makes a big difference. If I make a
mistake of 0.01 in design of any structure, the consequences
could be monumental. You don’t make mistakes when you are
mixing concrete, you don’t make mistakes when you are
designing structures etc. Everything must be perfect. There
shouldn’t be anything like near perfect in designing structures.
Near perfect is not perfect. If a design is a near-perfect design, it
is not a perfect design, and grave consequences could happen,
sequel to whatever little deficit in the total perfection. That little
imperfection could immediately or in the course of the life-span of
the structure result in the loss of lives and property. So, our field
of practice is even more delicate than that of the doctor.


Perfection in design is not possible.

how can A 1st class ABU student say this?

that's why we have factor of safety, fail safes and design check limits for every possible design in CE.

comprehensive testing is impractical on many projects, such as
bridges and buildings, but the structure's ability to carry load must
be determined to a reasonable accuracy.

Daily trust with false information. This dude is my class mate. We graduated together the Same year all though he is very intelligent but we graduated 2 first class. He was the best graduating student in d faculty with 4.68 but not the 1st graduating student in the faculty of engineering. Infact the faculty graduated over 11 first class this same year. So don't believe the fabricated information from the media. The scholar has gone back to daily trust to rectify the mix up and clear is personality. See the interview below how the student cleared is name

Chai...a civil engr who doesn't knw BM,SF,stress and structural analysis is bragging abt water treatment..chai

Bamsupremacy:

As far as B/Eng is concerned, civil engineering is civil engineering, you can only specialize when you go for masters, the lad is an Environmental Engineer and should be recognised as such.

Is not easy ma brother congrats proudly Northern Register Civil Engineer I manage comot with 2:1 in Civil Engineering
