22 Students Bags First Class As Redeemer’s University Graduates 465 Students

The Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun State has graduated the total of 465 graduands in the 9th convocation of the university. Twenty two of them bagged First Class honours. The Vice-chancellor of the university, Prof. Debo Adeyewa made this known while briefing journalists on Monday, as part of the activities for the convocation. He said while those who bagged First Class honours constituted 4.7 per cent of the total graduands, a total of 145 graduands graduated with second class upper division, which amounted to 31.2 per cent. According to him, 203 graduands came out with second class lower division, which is 43.7 per cent, as others fell into third class and pass categories. Adeyewa explained that the inspiring traits that stood the graduands out was the spirit of oneness and communalism. “It is the first and the most active set that would passionately do everything possible to bring indigent colleagues who are unable to pay their fees back to school,” he said. The Vice-chancellor, however, canvassed for government’ support for private higher institutions of learning, to aid acceleration of research and the development of the education sector. He opined that the establishment of private universities in Nigeria had opened up the academic landscape and had provided access to many candidates who otherwise would have been denied the opportunity of higher education. “Since private universities are contributing to the growth and well-being of our dear country, there is a clarion call on the government to support these institutions”, Adeyewa said.

Fayose inaugurates presidential campaign

Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has abandoned his desire to seek reelection in 2018. Instead, he has launched his presidential campaign on Facebook.

Fayose had initially said he would approach the Supreme Court to determine his eligibility to run again for the office of governor of his state because of his inability to finish his first term in office.

The governor, whose impeachment then had been declared null and void by the apex court, had said there was need to finish his first four years in office.

See the campaign inauguration:

Fayose, who is the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, was one of the two governors in the party who spoke vehemently against the continued stay in office of the former National Chairman of the party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff.

Ironically, the governor was also among the few governors who brought the former governor of Borno State to the office of the national chairman of the former ruling party.

The PDP had zoned the position of the party’s presidential candidate to the northern part of the country.

It is, however, not clear if the party would go back on this, but analysts believed that Fayose could be positioning himself for the position of running mate for the party’s presidential candidate.

The three organs of the party, which are the Expanded National Caucus, Board of Trustees and the National Executive Committee are meeting in Abuja in Monday and Tuesday.
