UI VC, PROF. OLAYINKA REWARDS A CREATIVE STUDENT ...charges youths to be innovative
Vice Chancellor, University of Ibadan , Prof. Abel Idowu Olayinka has handsomely rewarded a UI 200-level Geography student who made an artistic impression of the VC's picture just as the UI boss challenged the youths to direct their energies into productive engagements that can make their lives better.
Mr. Ajadu Ileanaju God'stime of the Faculty of the Social Science had artistically painted the profile picture of the VC and posted it on the social media. He soon contacted the Media Assistant to the VC, Mr. Sunday Saanu to assist him in facilitating presentation of the work to the busy boss, expressing fear to come near the VC's office.
Ecstatic was God'stime when informed that the student-friendly VC had agreed to receive him with his work, wondering what would be Prof. Olayinka's reaction when meeting "a whole UI VC" in his office.
Ushering the visibly agitated student into the expansive VC's office with the beautiful art work, with short introduction and remarks by the Media Assistant, joy suddenly took over the mind of the hitherto phrenetic and frenzied Geography student as the VC in his characteristic candour jokingly said "Whaooo!, how much are you going to pay me for painting my picture?"
" Honestly, this is very creative . This student has used the strike period to express his talent. I think other students should learn from God'stime . Our youths should direct their energies into productive engagements that can better their lives", Prof. Olayinka stated, pointing out that at a time everybody is shouting recession and depression , youths can look inwards and give their innate talents quality expression.
Prof. Olayinka who was delighted by the creative thinking of the student later directed his Secretary to package an envelope for the student as an encouragement and as well as an appreciation of his work.
Reacting, God'stime who was full of gratitude for the VC's humble disposition towards him disclosed that he was sleeping when the idea came into his mind, stressing that the money would go a long way to assist his indigent brother who is a Medical student in UI.
Several other people have since been asking him to do an art work for them.
