Dr. Alafara A. Baba of the Department of Industrial Chemistry has been adjudged the Best Lecturer of the University of Ilorin.
Dr. Alafara, who is the Deputy Director
of the institution's Central Research Laboratories, was nominated by
students of the institution in an opinion poll organised by
telecommunication services provider, MTN.
The nomination was held on MTN Season of
Surprise, a platform, which was open to students of various
universities to nominate 15 best lecturers in their respective
institutions. The choice of the nominees was then subjected to online
voting by students in each institution, after which lecturers with the
highest votes were selected as the students' best.
In Unilorin, Dr. Alafara won the contest and he was presented with an ELEMAC 7.5KVa generator by MTN.
The generator was presented
to the lecturer by a representative of the mobile network provider, Mr.
Sanni Fagbenja, at a short ceremony held in front of the Science Lecture
Theatre (SLT) on Wednesday, February 11, 2015.
Also, two students of the Faculty of
Physical Sciences also went home with an iPhone 6 handset each, having
won nominations by their colleagues. They are David Samuel Tope
(Chemistry Department) and Sunday Olubukola Deborah (Industrial
Chemistry Department).
In his remarks, Dr. Alafara dedicated
the award to the past and current students of the Department of
Industrial Chemistry and the University authorities for creating an
enabling environment for teaching and research, noting that the
“surprise gift” would inspire him to continue to strive for excellence
in teaching and research.
