The University of Ilorin continues to make large strides in improving itself, aiming to be fully digitalized in January 2014, the school’s registrar Mr Emmanuel Obafemi said.
Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Ilorin, Obafemi said that the development would make it possible for lecturers to be able to send assignments to their students via the Internet.
“As from Jan. 2014, University of Ilorin lecturers would be able to send assignments to their students through the Internet from the comfort of their homes,’’ adding that students would also be able to respond respond via the same channel.
He said that the school had ordered for 25,000 pieces of mini iPads from the U.S. for the students, to enable the lecturers to send assignments to them from home. He noted that the iPads were already fully loaded with the students’ courses and each student would get one as they resume in January.
Obafemi confirmed that because the iPad was produced in large quantity, the university had subsidised its price, noting that the whole school had already been connected to the Internet. He expressed the readiness of the institution’s administration to make the university one of the best in Nigeria and Africa.
Obafemi noted that the school would continue to encourage programmes and policies that promote global best practices in the education system. The registrar gave an assurance that the institution would sustain the legacy of the past Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede.
“If you come here in another five months, you will see a positively different Unilorin and well managed institution,’’ Obafemi said. He commended the management of the institution and expressed delight in the fact that the university had not gone on strike in 13 years. (NAN)

Nice! But the racism in unillorin is high! Its difficult to get admission if you are nt a muslim or an indigene
'Racism'? Did I read right? Hmmmmm. Can we just offer you and others here that actually responded to your 'racism' accusation to go back to primary school and be better tutored. For you never meant anything of that sort. You probably had in mind tribalism, religious and ethnic bigotry and stuff like that. But you introduced a term that is almost completely foreign to Nigeria. You and your respondents simply have no idea what racism means. Real trouble for our country.
