Anybody can make first class, nothing special –Awonaike, UNILAG graduate
Boluwatife Awonaike, 22, is a first class graduate of the University of Lagos having finished with a 4.85/5.00 CGPA from the Department of Industrial Chemistry in the 2013/2014 academic session. She tells TUNDE AJAJA how she achieved such feat How easy was it having a first class? I would say I found it fairly easy because I had a genuine interest in my course of study. Chemistry is a course that even science students try to avoid. How did you develop the interest?

I read it over and over, and soon enough, I knew I wanted to acquire more knowledge in that aspect. So, I have always had the interest and I have no regret. Though many people see Organic Chemistry as tedious, I agree because of the numerous chemical structures and formulas invol...

As the May 29 handover date draws near, fresh controversy over the election results has been ignited between the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress in Rivers and Akwa Ibom states.

Appeal Court upholds dismissal of Assemblies of God Church General Superintendent
Appeal Court upholds dismissal of Assemblies of God Church General Superintendent The Court of Appeal in Enugu has upheld the suspension and dismissal of the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church, Paul Emeka, by the church. In a lead judgment delivered on Tuesday in Enugu by Justice Emmanuel Agim, the court held that it was not the fundamental right of any member to be General Superintendent of the church. The court voided his application for the protection of his fundamental human rights as General Superintendent. It said that there was no proper proof of service on the appellants and that the trial court was wrong in deciding that there was proper service. The court also overruled the order of an Enugu High Court that other members of the church that held various executive offices should vacate them. It voided the order of the trial court which awarded N30 million against other members of the executive and in favour of Mr. Emeka. The court blamed the r...
