Authorities of the University of Ilorin, Kwara
State has said that they had accepted the
voluntary withdrawal of a student, Jephtaph
Abolarin, from the institution.
Abolarin, a 300-Level Sociology student, had
written to the university confessing to cheating
during his West African Senior School
Certificate Examination.
Abolarin, who said he had become a ‘born
again’ Christian, said continuing his university
education, using an unmerited certificate would
be unjust and immoral.
He wrote the letter to the institution’s Deputy
Vice-Chancellor, Academics, Prof. Sidiqat
Ijaiya, on August 5, 2016.
He said wanted to withdraw from the school
as he got his WAEC through examination
malpractice.
Reacting to the letter on Sunday, the university
Deputy Director, Corporate Affairs, Mr. Kunle
Akogun, confirmed the withdrawal of the
student.
Akogun, who noted that the Senate of the
university had accepted the withdrawal letter,
added that the Vice-Chancellor, Prof.
Abdulganiyu Ambali, commended Abolarin for
his repentance and sincerity.
The VC, Akogun added, wished Abolarin well in
his future endeavour.
Part of Abolarin’s letter to the DVC read:
“Just as a house that was built on a faulty
foundation will surely collapse, it is also
certain that a career that is built on a faulty
foundation will definitely collapse. All through
my secondary school days, I was just a church
‘goer’, without genuine salvation and the fear
of God. As a result, I got my WASSCE result
through examination malpractice.
“By the grace of God, now, I have encountered
the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which
called for repentance and restitution.
“Sir, with deep conviction, I have realised that
there is no point building my academic career
on a faulty foundation; since the WASSCE
result I got through malpractice is the basis in
which my admission into this university was
anchored.
“Therefore, I have decided to withdraw from
the university and start all over again.”
