Date: 2016-05-17

The Minister of Communications, Hon. Abdur-Raheem Adebayo Shittu, has commended the University of Ilorin for remaining the most stable University in the country and for the spirit of excellence that has transformed the University to a distinguished centre of excellence in the country.

Hon. Shittu stated this last Thursday (May 12, 2015), when he paid a courtesy visit to the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali (OON), in his office. The Minister was in the University to deliver a Keynote address at a Seminar organised by the Nigeria Association of Muslim Law Students (NAMLAS) in honour of the Executive Secretary of MUSWEN, Prof. Dawud O. S. Noibi.

The Minister, who was excited at the transformation that is taking place in the University, pointed out that the institution must have been a beneficiary of the prayers of sundry clergymen. He commended the University management for the stable academic calendar that guarantees that students graduate as at when due, Hon. Shittu said, "My visit to Unilorin today, is, undoubtedly, a homecoming, having been attached to this place over the last 30 years or so. I want to commend the management for developing what has become a very beautiful citadel of learning".

The Minister also commended the Vice-Chancellor and his team as he prayed that the academic stability in the University would continue to be sustained. Hon Shittu noted that the Nigeria project belongs to all Nigerians, submitting that what we have in the country is "religiosity without godliness". He explained that true religion is about godly living, admitting that without godliness entrenched into the education system, the country would only produce professionals who are corrupt, advocating that citizens must see patriotism as an act of worship to God.

In his remarks, the Vice-Chancellor congratulated Hon. Shittu on his appointment as a Minister, thanking him for creating time out of his busy schedule to visit the University to deliver the Keynote address at the NAMLAS National Seminar. Prof. Ambali told the Minister that there is inter-religious harmony on the University campus. The honouree, Prof. Noibi, thanked the Muslim students and the University for the honour bestowed on him.

He said, "I am pleased to have the opportunity of visiting the University of Ilorin again. It strengthens my ties with an institution that I love so much". The Minister was accompanied on the visit to the Vice-Chancellor by the former Grand Khadi of Kwara State, Justice Abdulkadir Orire; the Dean, Postgraduate School, Prof. L. Badmus; the Ag. Dean of Law, Dr. K. I. Adam; Dr. M. K. Adebayo; Dr. A. I. Abikan; Dr. B. A. Omipidan; Dr. Ariyoosu and Engr. Suleiman Yahaya.

The Vice-Chancellor was joined at the courtesy visit by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (RTI), Prof. Gabriel Olatunji; the Registrar, Mr. E. D. Obafemi; the Deputy Bursar, Mr. O. Dere; the Deputy Director, Corporate Affairs, Mr. Kunle Akogun; the Principal Assistant Registrars in the Vice-Chancellor's Office, Mr. A. Sayuti; Mr. K. K.
