AN OPEN LETTER TO THE V.C OF UNILORIN (PROF. ABDULGANIYU AMBALI)
-------------------------------------------------------
On behalf of my beautiful and handsome aspirants I speak!!!

I could remember vividly what you said few weeks after the conclusion of this year's post-utme .

You said that this year's admission will be based on merit if I'm not mistaken. But as we can all see now, 42% were reportedly said to have made the first batch list while
58% upwards were thrown into exile of frustration, worries and confusion.

Alas! Your words didn't stand or you didn't stand on your words rather!

But why? Have we not got enough potentials to be among the elites which are supposed to be admitted? Or have we however offended our creator?

Even the first batch list itself took almost a perdition-time to be released leaving all aspirants in commotions and thinking maybe Unilorin has been sleeping or forgetful about its 2015 admissions.

And now, I see again the so-much hyped second list which has been the most talk-of-the-town since the first batch list has. elapsed. Aspirants have waited and waited and

“For example, only 8,591 students could be admitted last academic session but we have increased the

Unilorin VC Appreciates Staff For Keeping School Strike-free For 10 Years

The Vice-Chancellor of University of Ilorin, Professor Abdulganiyu Ambali, Tuesday lauded the lecturers and non-teaching staff of the institution for sustaining peace and tranquility in the institution despite the crisis in the country’s educational sector, which he said has continued to keep the university system running without any interruption for the past 10 years.

The institution is the only public university in the country that has not witnessed any form of industrial action whether local or national for the past 10 years, a developement which has made the school one of the most sought after by students in Nigeria.

Disclosing this in Ilorin during an annual general meeting with the leadership of the Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (SSAN) of the university, Ambali however, empathised with sister universities which had been closed down for months due to strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

Ambali, who was represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Management Services), Prof. Yisa Fakunle, made reference to the directive by the federal government to vice-chancellors to open their universities, noting that there was never a time vice-chancellors didn’t go to work since the strike commenced.

“We only pray that they come to a good resolution of this crisis as soon as possible. You can now see why the VC is grateful to each and everyone of you,” he said.

He also praised the union “for being able to work among themselves, give and take, to ensure there is peace and tranquility in the university.” He implored them to “continue to maintain peace and tranquility in the university.”

Also speaking at the meeting, the SSANU branch chairman, Mr. Mansour Alfanla, advocated a bill to be titled, ‘Strike Free Allowance Act’ to reward “patriotic and hard-working citizens who are not engaged in any form of strike.”

The chairman stressed that the Strike Free Allowance Act would forestall the incessant strikes “that had adversely affected our education standard, and
