Authorities of the University of Ilorin, Kwara State
on Sunday 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 claimed he had become a ‘born
again’ Christian, said continuing his university
education, using an unmerited certificate was
unjust and immoral.
He wrote the letter to the institution’s Deputy Vice-
Chancellor, Academics, Prof. Sidiqat Ijaiya, on
August 5, 2016.
According to him, he wanted to withdraw from the
school because he got his WASSCE 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.”
