Reps to honour student with 5.0 CGPA

 

"As a House I believe we should recognize, celebrate and commend Mr Ayodele so as to encourage him."

The House of Representatives have expressed their interest in honouring Mr. Ayodele Daniel Dada, a graduate of the University of Lagos who achieved a record-breaking 5.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).

According to a letter addressed to each member of the House titled “NEW ACADEMIC RECORD BY AYODELE DANIEL DADA” by the Majority Leader, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, and revealed by Leadership, the lawmakers were enjoined to admit Dada into the Green Chamber in order to celebrate his rare feat.

“In the last two weeks Nigeria and Nigerians have been inundated with news of the incredible performance of Mr Ayodele Dada a student of the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Lagos who set a new academic record by graduating with a 5.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average. The first time ever in the University’s and perhaps Nigeria’s history.

As a House I believe we should recognize, celebrate and commend Mr Ayodele so as to encourage him and give hope and inspiration to many others.

“To this end, I wish for you to join me as we suspend the House rules to invite Mr. Ayodele Dada to the floor of the House on Tuesday 22nd March to honour the young man and his remarkable achievement. His story is compelling and inspirational to the youth and he represents and mirrors the hope of our tomorrow,” Gbajabiamila said.

#FREEUNILAG4 Police Arrest Four Unilag Student At Graveside Friend Who Died Of "SNIPER" POISONING

So for some hours now the hash tag #FreeUnilag4 has been trending on twitter...yours truly decided to find out and found that it had to do with the death of one Eniola Jacobs. 

According to Sahara Reporter, four students of University of Lagos (UNILAG), Adeboye Timothy, Aramowo Stephen, Awe-Obe Raphael and Iwerima Jacob were arrested for acting suspiciously at the graveside of a colleague, Eniola Jacobs, who died from an intake of a lethal pest-control chemical widely known as "Sniper."

                                                                           

Public Relations Officer of the Ogun State Police Command, Mr. Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the students were members, along with the deceased, of the Cherubim and Seraphim campus fellowship‎.
"We arrested the students at the graveside when they insisted they wanted to exhume the corpse for resurrection," Mr. Adejobi said.
The PPRO said the action was unacceptable to the parents and also appeared strange to the police. He confirmed that the students arrested are being detained at the Criminal Investigations Department of the Eleweran Division in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
 Jacobs died Sunday morning at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) while being treated for toxin intake.
Colleagues of the deceased,  who were at the scene of the incident, told SaharaReporters that a bottle of Pepsi and a container bearing the chemical were found in his bag shortly after the incident, which took place at the library of the Faculty of Education.
"His screams were coming from the Education Library. He got assistance and was taken to the Alpha Base from where he was moved to the hospital," a classmate said.
The deceased was said to have shouted: "sniper...sniper..!" while hurrying out of the library and calling for help.
Two accounts have emerged on the cause of the deceased's action. One has it that cult members forced him to take the sniper while his colleagues said he could have taken the action out of acute depression.
"He missed the opportunity to register his courses during his first year and had been worried about it at some point," a member of his department told SaharaReporters.
According to his friends, Mr. Jacobs, a 300-level student of microbiology, was doing well in his studies despite the problem he had in his first year.
"I think he was already getting over it," another colleague said. The colleague also disclosed that the Course Adviser of the deceased,  Dr. Nze, had advised him to ensure that he kept getting good grades while working on the courses he missed during his first year.
The Lagos State Police Command has already begun an investigation into the allegation that he was forced by some cult members to take the toxic substance.

Thus, other UNILAG students are campaigning via the hash tag for their release!
