EIGHT UNILAG MEDICAL STUDENTS RECEIVE H.O.T. FOUNDATION BURSARY AWARDS

Eight Medical Students of the University of Lagos have received the sum of N0.26 million as Bursary Awards from the Horatio Oritshejelomi Thomas Foundation (HOT). They are Mr Alimi Hakeem Abiodun, Miss Otuyelu Ayodele Kofoworola, Mr Osunlusi Olufemi John, Miss Onwuekewe Sandra Chinonye, Mr Agbeboaye Akhaniuki Gabriel, Mr Ezegwu Olisa Kinsley, Miss Usmar Mariam Jemila and Mr Yekini Ibrahim Olawale. The awardees received the bursary during a Presentation Ceremony held on Tuesday, September 19, 2011 in the Board Room of the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Idi-Araba. Speaking during the Presentation Ceremony, son of late Professor Horatio Oritshejolomi Thomas and Chairman of the HOT Foundation, Chief V. Awadagin Thomas congratulated the beneficiaries and urged them to make judicious use of the money. Chief Thomas revealed that many medical students of UNILAG have already benefited from the HOT bursary award which was initiated two years ago in memory of his late father, a strict disciplinarian who did not condone ineptitude from staff and students during his tenure as first Provost and Pioneer Head of the College of Medicine, Idi-Araba. Delivering a Goodwill Message, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Management Services), Professor Rahmon Ade Bello who represented the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adetokunbo Babatunde Sofoluwe thanked the Foundation for its kind gesture and congratulated the beneficiaries of the Awards. He called on all other well meaning Nigerians to emulate HOT Foundation by instituting scholarship awards that would benefit brilliant indigent students. Similarly, the Chairman, Board of Governor of the College, Chief Obafemi-Olopade encouraged the awardees to view the bursary as an impetus to work harder to justify the kind gesture of HOT Foundation. He admonished wealthy Nigerians to shun the act of lavishing money during parties and cultivate the habit of giving assistance to the needy, especially brilliant indigent students. Other dignitaries who attended the Presentation Ceremony include the Deputy Provost of the College, Professor (Mrs) A. F. Fagbenro-Beyioku who represented the College Provost, Professor Wole Atoyebi; Chief Olufemi Majekodunmi; Chief J.J. Grange; Chief Hope Harriman as well as senior academic and administrative staff of the College. CULLED FROM UNILAD.EDU.NG
