The management of Adeleke University, Ede, Osun State, has offered to give a scholarship to the 18-year-old admission seeker allegedly raped by a part-time lecturer of the University of Lagos, Mr. Akin Baruwa.
The institution became concerned about the fate of the girl following series of reports detailing the girl’s experience.
The Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Oluwole Amusan,was contacted and he confirmed this on Wednesday.
The university don explained that the institution decided to take the step because the management was moved by the plight of the girl, who was allegedly raped in the course of her quest for a university education.
The VC said, “Giving out scholarships to indigent students is not new to us. Our founder had a foundation whose existence preceded the university, through which scholarships were given to students.
“Since the university was established four years ago, the tradition has continued.”
According to the VC, the scholarship would cover the four-year duration of Mass Communication, which the girl has chosen to study, a course which UNILAG has said she was not qualified for with her 211 score in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
He said it has not been determined whether the scholarship would be full or partial since he had not yet interacted with the father of the victim.
With a student population of over 1,000, one fifth of Adeleke University undergraduates are on scholarship, it was learnt.
The father of the alleged rape victim, confirmed that he had been contacted by the institution to come to the university.

A silver lining in the dark clouds...God always makes a way where there seems to be no way
ReplyDeletegood but ve not heard of the skul o
DeleteGod a beg. Not even a scholarship can send me to a private Uni. I like where I am. Amen.
DeleteNa papa davido get the university for their hometown.. It s ok
DeleteSee how God works? It took that dirty thing to rape the poor girl for favour to locate her. Mixed feelings but it ended in praise
Delete.....@Sisi,d ways of God ehnnn!

God bless d management of Adeleke university
Nice one from them.
ReplyDeleteNice of them indeed.
DeleteThey just wana be known,doubt they wld offer shiiiit even if they do,trust there wld be terms and conditions
Be truthful,not until now btw have u heard bout adeleke university? All that is about to change cos they just became famous momentarily
See their university entrance looking like children playground.
Biko the girl and her family shldnt fall for this scam...scholarships indeed; as if their certificate is recognised anywhere.
Lol Elena free them biko. At least she go get university degree and wouldn't be subjected to much scrutiny, being that her grades were low. The only problem I forsee is the stigma associated with it. The entire school will know who she is and everyone will know where she's studying. Wish they kept the university name a secret so no one would suspect. Then again, like u said, the school wants publicity.
DeleteElena; fact that you don't know AU does not mean it ain't popular. Trying a google search will be better! Stop displaying your ignorance publicly.
DeleteNice one from them.
ReplyDeleteNice of them, God bless them.
DeleteThe maid factor: A must read for all ladies
This is a wonderful development,let them make it full scholarship sha,God bless Adeleke University

Behind every cloud, there is a silver lining.

B....maybe in trust. And b4 u know it, word goes around and she's looked at with an odd look and pointed at??...the stigma
ReplyDeleteFor using the word "allegedly", you are wiser and more matured that other bloggers.
ReplyDeleteHe is yet to be convicted in court so all allegations are alleged.
Oh my God. I am happy. Throughout yesterday,I was tensed,afraid,scared,bamboozled(sec sch grammar).
ReplyDeleteBut now,it is well.
Eeeeya.....
ReplyDeleteAngels do reside among us after all.
So good n thoughtful of the university but what of unilag? should they not wave their cutoff issue n give this girt authomatic admission as consolation for her ordeal? Pls unilag which is the choice of the girl should do something even if its not with scholarship n the dick of the lecturer cut off n flushed down the drains like that chinese dude kikikiki.
ReplyDeleteYes you are very right! That is what Unilag should do if the man is finally convicted but am afraid other lecturers like baruwa will deal with her indirectly if she finally gets the admission in Unilag.
DeleteWhatever pleases her sha.

Very very nice of them. But all this children they want unilag, I hope she agrees to go to this one
ReplyDeleteSuch good initiative.
ReplyDeleteUnilag should have thought of this first instead of issuing watery denials.
I hope her identity is still kept hidden when she decide to accept the offer.
Adeleke university kwa *straight face*
ReplyDeleteGood news! Soo happy for d girl cos it wud take her out of ha depressed state!
ReplyDeleteAdeleke university is owned by the Adelekes, Davido family/father, they are such a nice family. See what a civilian is doing,that government can't do . Instead all unilag is doing is disclaiming the lecturer. If I was the girl I won't even go to unilag again. This has even saved the girls parents a lot of money. May God continue to bless the giver.
ReplyDeleteSome people do u evil only for God to shock them wit his miracles.Happy for d gah....
ReplyDeleteNice one from them.
ReplyDeleteHope the school is accredited?
If not, no need wasting four years.
Omo Baba Olowo.....Adeleke s family is blessed Congrats girl.
ReplyDeleteThank God for the gesture. Those who claim not to have heard of Adeleke University should Google it.
ReplyDeleteGood move...
ReplyDeleteAll na still advertising strategy though..
Some comments are so annoying, so because she was raped she should go into hiding?....it is ignorant people like you that give unnecessary stigma to rape victims. God has turned her pain to gain, her shame to fame and her trials to testimont...you are busy complaining. Shame on the makers of all those foolish comments. Adeleke is a good university..yes new but standard and accredited. rejoice with her and stop whinning!!!!
