UNILORIN Produces Only Quality Graduates – VC Ambali

The Vice-Chancellor of the University of
Ilorin, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali (OON),
has expressed confidence in the quality of
graduates produced by the institution,
saying they have been trained not only in
learning but also in sound character.

Prof. Ambali stated this last Tuesday,
(November 24, 2015) when the Deputy
Director, Mobilisation of the National
Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Mr. Sanusi
Abdulrasheed, visited him in his office. The
NYSC official was in the University for a
pre-mobilisation briefing for final year
students who were getting ready for their
one-year compulsory national service.

The Vice-Chancellor, who was represented
by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research,
Technology and Innovation), Prof. Gabriel
Olatunji, observed that graduates of the
institution have been exposed to challenges
and have developed the skills to solve
problems.

He said, “With particular regard to our
prospective corps members here, we
certainly can beat our chests and say that
we always give you good ambassadors”.
The Vice-Chancellor said that wherever
they are, the Unilorin products have
“always demonstrated that they graduated
from this University not only in learning
but also in sound character that matter.
So,
we can always give you that assurance that
our students are well brought up. They
have been properly moalded through the
furnace of the University academically and
morally”.

He noted that the NYSC has remained
relevant and significant to national life
over the years, saying the Scheme had been
bedeviled by challenges, in particular, the
insurgency posed by the Boko Haram
insurgents in the North-eastern part of the
country.

He, however, commended the NYSC for
doing everything possible towards
alleviating the suffering of the corps
members and making life a bit comfortable
for them.

In his remarks, the Deputy Director,
Mobilisation, NYSC Abuja, Mr.
Abdulrasheed, explained that the purpose
of the visit was to educate the prospective
corps members on what they need to know
about the process of mobilisation to
facilitate and guarantee a hitch-free
process, especially with the deployment of
online procedures in the mobilisation
process.

Speaking earlier, the Deputy Registrar,
Student Affairs, Mrs. Kikelomo Sallee, said
that the sensitisation was important in
order to guarantee a hitch-free
mobilisation exercise, which, in the past,
was usually fraught with some challenges.
Present on the occasion were the Deputy
Vice-Chancellor (Academic), Prof. (Mrs.)
N.Y.S. Ijaiya; the University Librarian, Dr.
Joseph Omoniyi; the Deputy Bursar, Mr.
Munir Dere, the Deputy Registrar, Mr M. S.
Adegoke, who represented the Registrar,
and the Deputy Director, Corporate Affairs,
Mr. Kunle Akogun.
