Below are the reasons why Obafeni Awolowo University is a great school; 1. The only University in Nigeria whose students  are capable of influencing national policies.  Examples: i, Ife/Ibadan expressway was dualized  in the early 1990s due to agitations of Ife  students after an accident claiming students'  lives; ii , Ife students led the Ali-Must Go struggle  of 1978 against FG's obnoxious policies on education iii The national clampdown on cultism in all Nigerian institutions was triggered by Ife students in 1999. 2. Ife Varsity enjoys the best welfare facilities  among public universities in Nigeria. Good roads, water, constant electricity, very conducive learning environment. 3. The only Nobel Laurette in Nigeria won it as Ife  lecturer. Wole Soyinka. 4. A good percentage of Ife products are highflyers in their chosen professions. 5. Ife is the most progressive university in Nigeria.  It is only in Ife that a fumbling serving minister  with all the security deta

We want Nigerians to be patient and every eligible candidate will be registered by April 19, when the registration will close.” Click HERE  to write or advertise here

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, has officially resumed work at the national secretariat of the party. Addressing the Imo State PDP delegation who paid him a visit in Abuja, Senator Sheriff said the party is in its current leadership mess because of the imposition of candidates against the wishes of the people. He, however, stated optimism that he would return the party to the people. On their part, the delegation led by Senator Hope Uzodinma pledged to mobilise the support of party members from the southeast region. It appears  the ruling of the Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt, Rivers State which reinstated Sheriff as the PDP Chairman  has continued to trigger more controversy within the party.
