The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, has identified academic excellence, stability of academic calendar, and unbroken campus peace as the key attributes that make the University the toast of admission seekers and the most admired among the 147 universities in the country.
Prof. Ambali disclosed this last Tuesday, at the swearing-in of members of the newly elected Students’ Union Central Executive Council (CEC) for the coming 2015/2016 academic session, headed by its President, Idris Alao.
In his address, entitled “Memorable Day”, Prof Ambali, who was represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Prof. (Mrs.) N. Y. S. Ijaiya, enjoined all students to contribute their quota to the sustenance of the identified qualities.
The VC told the student leaders, “Your mandate is to promote the good image of the University both nationally and internationally such that the University will continue to be better by far and best by standard”.
He enlisted the support of the Students’ Union leaders in the campaign for the values, which the University hold dear, which include dress codes, respect for elders, respect for visitors, humility, etc.
“We have zero tolerance for corruption”, Prof. Ambali said, adding, “We are amazed about some cases of stealing among students particularly of handsets and ladies’ bags. If anyone is caught, it is expulsion”. He, therefore, told the new Union leaders to sensitise the rest of the student community against petty crimes.
Prof Ambali then thanked the outgoing student executive committee members led by Yakub Ishowo, who was rated number two among all Students’ Union Presidents in the country at the 2015 Students Leadership Development Tournament (SLEDT), saying, “by all standards you have done well”.
