How I Will Spend N500,000 Alumni Gave Me – Alaba, LAUTECH Graduate | Ogbomoso Info

 



Oludare Alaba who demanded a refund of tuition fees and other expenses during his course of study at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) has revealed plans for the N500,000 donation given to him.

Alaba in an exclusive telephone chat with the Nigerian Tribune said, 10 per cent of the amount would be paid as a tithe to his parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, (RCCG), 10 per cent to 10 less privileged people, including some of his friends who are in a similar position but had been of great assistance to him in the past.

His words: “I have made a vow that any amount that comes into my hand in form of financial support, 10% will be deducted as tithes while another 10% will be deducted in support of at least 10 less privileged people in the society. including some of my friends who had been of assistance to me in the past but are facing financial turbulence now.

“I just had one person on the radio now who is in dire need of financial support, no matter how small, I will get his contact and reach out to the person,” he said.

Alaba stated that part of the money would be given to his father, noting his contribution and support.

“My father laboured hard to see me through the University, I will give him something, no matter how small.

Furthermore, he stated that the remaining amount would be used for the purchase of a laptop and an android phone to start his online business.

“I will use the remaining amount for the purchase of a laptop and android phone to start an online business. I am not going for an expensive phone, what I need is an affordable one that will be useful for my business.

“I am highly grateful and indebted to the Global Alumni of Ladoke Akintola University, Ogbomoso,” he concluded

Recall that the Global Alumni Association of the Institution had presented a cheque of N500,000 to Alaba after his widely reported decision to return his certificate and in return demand a refund of tuition fees and other expenses.

The financial support is aimed at supporting him and giving him a new lease of life, and he stated that the support will be used effectively to make his life better and not for frivolity.

Akudaaya: Tinubu, Abacha and Shettima’s Theory of Ruthless Leadership | Festus Adedayo

  OPINION By Festus ADEDAYO In what seems to affirm that he wears controversies like apparel, vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Kashim Shettima, leapt into yet another at the twilight of last week. On Thursday at the 96th-anniversary celebration of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Ikoyi, Lagos state, Shettima was quoted to have said that Nigeria needed the “hospitality” of General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s despotic military ruler; Nigeria’s own contribution to the list of infamous rulers who ruled the world with infernal ruthlessness. As the controversy over what he actually said raged, Shettima came out with a clarification: He actually said that in 2023, Nigeria needed a president who possessed “a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity”. Nigerians have since been engaged in dissecting what lay atop the mind of a man who could be the country’s vice president. “We need a leader with a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity of General Sani Abacha… Nice men do not ma...

Oyo Speaker Meets Senate Leadership, Deliberates State Assembly, LG Autonomy |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The Speaker of the 9th Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin met the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan to deliberate issues around financial autonomy for States Assembly and local governments. The brief meeting which was held yesterday after a national legislative assignment in Abuja, it’s considered necessary to improve cooperation between the National Assembly (Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives) and the State legislative arm. According to Ogundoyin, the wide gap between the National and the State assembly needs to be bridged to ensure that the common interest of the people are genuinely and adequately represented.

He said, “The distinguished Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan is a stakeholder in the nation...

LAUTECH: Solving One Problem But Creating Another |Adewuyi Adegbite

    By Adewuyi Adegbite The sole ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) by Oyo State is a welcome development. Joint ownership of the institution by Oyo and Osun states has culminated into protracted crises in the institution, which has had telling effects on the students, the staff and its rating as the best state university in Nigeria as well as the relationship between the owner states. Thus, the taking over of the institution by the Oyo State Government is applauded by all and sundry as a pragmatic way of engendering peace. However, the report credited to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde that the institution would be run as a multi-campus is sad news for all Ogbomoso indigenes as well as lovers of justice. I wish to advise the Oyo State Government to reconsider the idea in the interest of peaceful coexistence among the various zones of the state, which is homogenous. Numerically and population-wise, Ogbomoso geo-political zo...
