The Vice-Chancellor, University of Ilorin, Prof. Sulyman Abdulkareem, has advised children to live purpose-driven lives and focus on their educational pursuits in order to excel in life.

Abdulkareem gave the advice during the 2018 Social Work Day celebration at the Borstal Juvenile Institution and Hope Orphanage in Ilorin on Thursday. He was represented by Dr Aliu Abdullahi, Head, Department of Social Work of the university.

He said that the training and moral upbringing they were being exposed to would ultimately fortify them and make them useful members of the society.

The vice chancellor advised them to listen to their teachers and take their vocational studies seriously.

He said that the institute was well equipped and populated with competent staff who would add meaning to their lives.
