The overhyped Unilorin no get Alumni |
Re: Top 10 Nigerian Universities With The Most Prestigious Alumni by OrlandoOwoh(m): 1:50pm On Oct 02, 2015 |
kopite:No. E. A. Adeboye got his Bsc in Mathematics from Unife (now OAU, Ile-Ife) in 1967. He used to be a student in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), but left for Ife after the Federal Government directed that all undergraduates should transfer to universities in their regions of origin due to the crises of 1966. Adeboye and Yemi Farounbi (former Ambassador to the Philippines) left UNN for OAU. Farounbi got his Bsc in Geography in 1968. Prof. A. B. C. Nwosu, in the same manner, left UI for UNN. Of all the universities, OAU, UNN and Unilag, that Adeboye is said to have graduated from, OAU, is the only he publicly, in Tafawa-Balewa Square, said he got his Bsc from. |
