The 4th Annual Reward Nigeria Award & Gala Nights, hosted by Culbeat New Concepts Limited at the Banquet Hall of Sheraton Hotel in Lagos, was held in honour of seven students who distinguishing themselves as the best graduating students in their respective institutions across Nigeria. Six universities graduates were rewarded with N50, 000 cash and another N50,000 in gift vouchers. The awardees were; Mr. Gazali Taminu, Ahmadu Bello University, (ABU); Miss Favour Asuquo Ibok, University of Lagos (UNILAG), Miss Bisola Awojobi, University of Ibadan (UI); Miss Roseline Ejinde Oluchukwu, University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN); Alabi Sakirudeen Bojesome and Calvin Ossai, who were joint best graduating students of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU). All the awardees graduated from their institutions with First Class in their respective courses. Awojobi, an Elect-Electronics Engineering graduate emerged as her institution’s best graduate, with a GPA of 6.8 out of a maximum 7.0, while Oluchukwu, who read Electronic Engineering, graduated from UNN with a GPA of 4.77 out of 5.00. Ibok and Taminu made their parents proud by graduating with 4.89 and 4.78 respectively out of a maximum of 5.00. Ibok and Taminu bagged degrees in Accountancy and Chemical Engineering respectively. Bojesome and Ossai, who both graduated from Department of Electronic Engineering in the Faculty of Technology at OAU graduated with GPA of 4.92 out of a maximum of 5.00 Miss Tolulope Falokun, a current 100-level Law Student at the Obafemi Awolowo University distinguished herself as the best overall West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) candidate in 2012. Folokun, a 16 year-old alumnus of St. Louis Girls Grammar School, Akure in Ondo State scored nine straight A1s. She was also rewarded with N50, 000 cash and N50,000 in gift vouchers. Apart from the seven students, Lumen Christi Intl. High School, Uromi in Edo State also received the ‘Best Secondary School’ award for their brilliant performance as the school with the best WAEC result. Speaking during the event, Convener of the Reward Nigeria Award, Adekunle Akintayo, said the purpose of the award is to celebrate students who distinguishing themselves in their respective institutions. He said, “This awards ceremony was instituted to celebrate role model Nigerians and over the last four years, we have recognised the contributions of Scientists, Artists, Students and Organisations. In the last two years in particular, the Reward Nigeria Awards has changed tact to focus on youth and education. Since the year 2011, these awards have been given to recognise the best graduating students from the first five Nigerian universities; The University of Ibadan, The Ahmadu Bello University, The University of Nigeria, The Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile- Ife and The University of Lagos. We have also honoured the best WAEC candidates in each year and the best secondary schools in Nigeria based on WAEC results. What are you telin me, |

Abegi which stupiid jinx? Evil lecturers should be sacked. How can you consistently prevent brilliant students from getting a first class for 20 years?! And this school is not even among the top 200 in the world. Shame to the faculty. Congratulations young man. They tried but failed to repress you. May others be as favoured. 1 Like |

Daily Trust verify your information before you go to press. A.B.U Deparrment of Mechanical Engineering graduated 5 1st Class students that were U04 sets. I will give their names so you verify; 1.Idris 2.Dotun 3.Hamisu 4.Shola 5. ( can't get the name now) All went for the PTDF scholarship abroad. Idris was at the American University of Science and Technology, Abuja. Where he collected an award presented by the fmr Minister for Finance(Dr. Ngozi Iwella). Hamisu is now a lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Shola is a lecturer in a College in the United States of America. Dotun is in the United Kingdom excelling over there. The no. 5 don't have any info on him, but I'm sure he's holding himself well. My reason for chronicling these guys is that; they were THE BEST,they were good mehn....... Up till now since they graduated 2010, their solved past questions are still being used in the department, courtesy of all the U04 set who made good use of them For the records, if you doubt me, go find out and don't ask me who I am for reeling out all this, it's obvious. But any Mech boy or Fac. Of Engr U04 reading this will know who's posting this. Adios!!!!! PROUDLY ABUSITE. 4 Likes |

Tukur Bayero
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER
e: 1st class in Engineering: How
student broke 20-yr-old jinx in
ABU
With respect to an interview
published on 12th February, 2016 in
Encounters column of the Daily Trust,
I am Bayero Muhammad Tukur and I
wish to rectify some mixed up facts
contained in the interview.
The caption just before the proper
interview stated that, I graduated with
a first class degree in Engineering
after the "Faculty of Engineering" has
failed to produce a first class
graduate for 20 years. This is mixed
up.
Actually, the Faculty of Engineering of
Ahmadu Bello University has been
graduating first class students. In
fact since my arrival at the Faculty as
a 100 level student, there is no
single graduating year that a first
class graduate is not made in the
faculty. However, I just happen to be
the best graduating student from my
department with a First Class
honours recently.This department is
called "Water Resources and
Environmental Engineering" (WREE).
This department was fractioned from
the old Civil Engineering department
of the faculty in the year 1980. It's
main aim was to train Civil Engineers
who will specialize in aspects of
Hydrology, Hydraulics and
Environmental Engineering.
The faculty of Engineering in ABU
usually produce best of the First
Class in the School in almost every
academic session. At a point. Gazali
Tanimu emerged the best graduating
student in the whole school and he
is from Chemical Engineering.
More so, in the set that graduated in
2005 from the Water resources and
environmental engineering
department. There was a first class
Student in the set. This is to bring to
your notice that even the 20 years
was exaggerated.
This rectification is really necessary
as it is better done than not. I wish
to correct this so that it does not
look like an intentional academic
fraud from my side instead of the
mixed up story that it is. Thank you.

Hopefully, his people will not, after the test, be wailing how the result did not federal character. A gem does not need much burnishing to shine forth. |

DT: How does an engineer’s mistake kill millions? Tukur: By discipline, I am a civil engineer, a hydraulic engineer, and an environmental engineer; in my design of a structure, if I make a mistake of 0.1 mm, it makes a big difference. If I make a mistake of 0.01 in design of any structure, the consequences could be monumental. You don’t make mistakes when you are mixing concrete, you don’t make mistakes when you are designing structures etc. Everything must be perfect. There shouldn’t be anything like near perfect in designing structures. Near perfect is not perfect. If a design is a near-perfect design, it is not a perfect design, and grave consequences could happen, sequel to whatever little deficit in the total perfection. That little imperfection could immediately or in the course of the life-span of the structure result in the loss of lives and property. So, our field of practice is even more delicate than that of the doctor. Perfection in design is not possible. how can A 1st class ABU student say this? that's why we have factor of safety, fail safes and design check limits for every possible design in CE. comprehensive testing is impractical on many projects, such as bridges and buildings, but the structure's ability to carry load must be determined to a reasonable accuracy. |

Daily trust with false information. This dude is my class mate. We graduated together the Same year all though he is very intelligent but we graduated 2 first class. He was the best graduating student in d faculty with 4.68 but not the 1st graduating student in the faculty of engineering. Infact the faculty graduated over 11 first class this same year. So don't believe the fabricated information from the media. The scholar has gone back to daily trust to rectify the mix up and clear is personality.
