One of Africa’s richest women and chairman of Famfa Oil, Mrs Folorunsho Alakija yesterday August 27th revealed that she never went to a university, saying one does not need a university education to make it in life. Mrs Folorunsho Alakija said this while speaking with students of the University of Lagos during the 2014 UN International Youths Day in Lagos. “I come from Ikorodu, Lagos state. I am married to a dashing young lawyer of 70 years of age and we have four grown up gentlemen and grandchildren. It has not been a rag to riches fairytale. It has not been an overnight phenomenon like some cases which you find here and there all over the world. For as long as I can remember, I had always wanted my own business. Hard work…am trying to tell you how I got to where I am if you want those billions. Hard work, diligence, persistence…days where you nearly gave up but I chose not to give up.”

Reports just got to us that Temitope Olalude Abiola a 400L student of Medical Laboratory Science in Ladoke Akintola Teaching Hospital (LAUTECH) that had been diagnosed of Acute Lymphoblastic leukaemia since probably July has PASSED ON.  She was meant to be flown abroad for a Bone marrow transplant which cost 10 Million Naira today Friday, 29th August 2014, but unfortunately died yesterday, Thursday, 28 August 2014. We sincerely sympathize with her families and friends. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

This is completely outrageous!  The so called Islamic extremists 'Boko haram' are at it again, this time they've upgraded from just kidnapping and keeping people hostage, and have turned into blood thirsty demons, killing innocent Christians in the most brutal ways possible . Why on earth should any one in his right senses plunge on innocent people(whether Christian or Muslim) all in the name of fulfilling religious beliefs. More details of the MASSACRE after the cut..

Lautech scientists have joined the fight against the spread of the DEADLY Ebola virus which since it crept into Nigeria has managed to spread rapidly like wild fire. Today, Lautech hosted a seminar that buttressed on the deadly Ebola disease. The main aim of the seminar was to disseminate appropriate information to Laboratory Scientists on safety precautions to take when handling blood samples (infected with Ebola or not) in the laboratory, and also protect themselves from the contagious epidemic.

A couple of Lautech and University of Ibadan students were on August 9th award a scholarship of 50,000 Naira by an organisation known as the Prime Club, Ibadan. This gesture of generosity was a first of it's kind and was done with the aim of supporting the forward movement of education in Nigeria.
