Complete your registration or forfeit admission – Unilorin vc

The University of Ilorin (Unilorin)

The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), University of Ilorin, Prof. Sidikat Ijaiya, has advised the newly admitted students of the institution to complete their registrations within the time stipulated in the university’s calendar.

Ijaiya gave the advice on Wednesday at the orientation programme organised for the students, saying, “the registration for the first batch of students has already closed”.

She also advised those in batches `B` and `C` to utilise the opportunity given them judiciously to avoid losing their precious admission.

The deputy VC also urged the students to prove to the university authorities that they deserve the admission, because many candidates applied, but only few were chosen.

“This, you can do by being worthy in character, and by striving very hard to attain excellence in your various disciplines,” she said.

Ijaiya said that the serene environment in the campus would make learning easy for them.

She urged them to make good use of the university’s library, the e-library and many available reading rooms stocked with useful learning materials.

The deputy VC said that the university was one of the few universities in Nigeria that gives its students all they required to make learning easy.

She also advised the students to stop behaving like secondary school students, but should see themselves as undergraduates and behave in a matured manner.

According to her, once you are given your course outlines, as undergraduates, you should learn to read on your own, saying that lecturers were there to guide them.

“You must inculcate the habit of reading ahead of the class and be punctual in the classroom at all times,” she said.

Ijaiya also told the students that their admission does not make them to be the best.

“Thousands of equally brilliant students are still outside and will sacrifice everything to be members of this noble institution.

“But, you are chosen by God through the management of the institution to fulfill certain things in life and in the Nigerian society.

“You have been given a rare opportunity to be successful in life, please work very hard to keep the hope alive,” she advised them.

Ijaiya urged the students against any invitation to the Students Disciplinary Committee (SDC), urging them to be well behaved.

“Those who had been there will tell you that it is not a pleasant experience.

“Many don’t come back unhurt; so, try your best while you are still on the right side of the law, don’t cross the lines,” she said.

Pope not involved in Colombian peace deal- Vatican

Pope Francis Pope Francis has turned down a request to play a role in the peace deal between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebel group. The Vatican in a statement issued on Wednesday in in Vatican City said that an invitation was sent to his Holiness in early August to appoint a representative to participate in the committee that selected the judges for the talks. The statement said that though Pope Francis supported the peace process, he, however, reiterated that he would not get involved in Colombian peace deal. It said that Pope was praying for the enlightenment of the hearts and minds of those who were called to promote the common good of the Colombian nation. A deal was announced last week, putting an end to five decades of internal conflict between government forces and the FARC rebels. The agreement, which needed to be ratified through a referendum in Oct. 2, would entail setting up a special court to grant amnesties or pu...

Houthis Claim Attack on Central Israel in Response to Gaza ‘Massacres’

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has taken a concerning regional turn as the Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on central Israel. The group announced this as part of their escalating response to what they describe as "massacres" in Gaza amid the Israeli military’s operations in the strip. Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel. While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace. This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime. In 2015, Moscow launched a military intervention that proved decisive in stabilizing Assad’s hold on power. This intervention solidified Russia's role as a key power broker in the Middle East and demonstrated its willingness to project military power far beyond its borders. Syria is not just an ally for Russia; it is a...
