First Bank Supports UNILORIN Marathon With N1.5m

(FRANKS..)
 
First Bank on Monday donated N1.5 million to the management of the University of Ilorin in support of the university toward a successful hosting of UNILORIN Marathon.
The event is scheduled to hold sometime in October.
The cheque, presented to the Vice Chancellor, AbdulGaniyu Ambali, by Salami was part of a courtesy visit to university of Ilorin by the top management of First Bank on Monday in Ilorin.
The Group Head of the bank, Mr Babatunde Salami described University of Ilorin as a worthy and good partner with the bank.
"A university that has come this long way after 40 years of its existence is still breaking grounds in all manners of academic and intellectual pursuits, needed to be supported,"he said.
The statement quoted Salami as saying that the bank would not only support the marathon financially, but will also participate in the event by presenting its own team.
"I believe that by so doing, we would have shown our support as an institution, we equally would have shown our support as individuals," he added.
Ambali, who was represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Management Services, Yisa Fakunle, acknowledged the contributions of the First Bank, especially toward convocation ceremonies of the university.
He said that the marathon event "is going to be unique because it coincides with our 40th Anniversary and it will coincide with our convocation period."
The Vice Chancellor commended the enthusiasm shown by bank to participate in the marathon, adding, "sport is a very important activity in the affairs of any university."
"We compete at the West African level, inter-university level and the university level and it is something that we take very seriously,"Ambali said.
He said that the university had plans to build a state-of the- art gymnasium.
Ambali, however, enjoined banks and other corporate organisations to endow professorial chairs in the university.
Earlier in his remarks, the Chairman of the UNILORIN Sports Council, Uche Eke said that the marathon would be the first of its kind to be organised by any Nigeria universities.
He said that the Sovereign Campus Concepts Ltd. is a competent partner in the event.

CNN Poll: Judging the Supreme Court

- As the Supreme Court gets ready to issue opinions on some high profile and contentious cases, a new national poll indicates Americans are split on whether the high court is doing a good job. According to a CNN/ORC International survey released Thursday morning, 48% of the public say they approve of the job the Supreme Court's doing, with an equal amount saying they disapprove. There is, however, an ideological divide. Fifty-three percent of liberals and 58% of moderates, but only 37% of conservatives, say that they approve of the court. "That's probably a reaction to last year's decision on Barack Obama's health care law," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. In a closely watched ruling, the court upheld the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, last June. "Before that ruling, most conservatives supported the Supreme Court, compared to only 44% of liberals. Now, most liberals approve of the court, with most co...

Who are the Niger Delta Avengers?

(Franks.) With a name that sounds like it has come from the pages of a superhero comic book, the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) is the latest militant group to emerge in Nigeria – attacking oil installations in a campaign which threatens the economy of Africa’s most populous state. “We are a group of educated and well-travelled individuals that are poised to take the Niger Delta struggle to new heights that has never been seen in this nation before,” the NDA proclaimed in one of their first statement’s on their website in April. “We have well-equipped human resources to meet this goal.” It was not an idle threat. The NDA has carried out a barrage of attacks on oil installations in the Niger Delta region, causing a huge decline in oil production, which is the mainstay of the West African state’s economy. “The renewed activities of the militants in the Niger Delta are seriously affecting our oil production,” Minister of Finance Kemi Adeosun admitted on state-owned NTA tele...

75 Killed In Mozambique After Taking Local Beer

75 Killed In Mozambique After Taking Local Beer Seventy five people have been reportedly killed in Mozambique following consumption of local beer. The Mozambican health authorities confirmed on Wednesday, November 4, that contamination resulted in the beer tragedy Chitima, Tete province, in the northwest of the country in January. It was earlier speculated that the poisoning were intentional, however, the ministry’s disclosure disproves all speculation. Xinhua news agency reports that the results of tested samples from the drink, locally known as “Pombe”, were made public on Wednesday in Maputo by the Ministry of Health. The tests were done in the United States, after South Africa failed to determine the causes of the deaths. Ilesh Jani, the director of the National Health Institute (INS), who presented the results at a news conference, told newsmen that the investigation into the samples started immediately after the deaths, as well as the treatment of...
