Be vigilant, Alfanla urges Unilorites

By Abubakar Imam

The Registrar of the University of Ilorin, Mr Mansur Adeleke Alfanla, has appealed to members of the University community, particularly students, to always be  vigilant and careful with the kind of company they keep, especially outside the campus.

Mr Alfanla made this appeal last Monday (October 27, 2025) in a telephone chat with UNILORIN Bulletin.

The Registrar said that students, particularly those who live outside the campus, must be careful by ensuring that they do not mingle with people of questionable characters.

He added that while going anywhere they must ensure that they board only properly labelled commercial vehicles and must ensure that they get the registration numbers of such vehicles recorded and sent to a trusted friend.

He particularly advised them to ensure that they do not accept free rides from unknown motorists and if they must do, such vehicles should be those   without tinted glasses.

Mr Alfanla also advised the students to keep the side windows of such vehicles wound  down so that they can easily raise alarm at any time the driver or any other passenger on board decide to play games.

On the ongoing transportation challenges on campus, Mr Alfanla said that it would soon be a thing of the past.

He explained that the management is not unaware of the challenges as he assured the University Community that the management is working round the clock to find lasting solutions to the challenges.

Mr Alfanla said that the management had already secured the services of mass transit buses (soludero) owned by the Kwara State Government to help in conveying students from the new park into the school area.

He implored other transport companies, community development organisations and well-to-do individuals to partner with the University authorities towards eradicating the challenge.

Mr Alfanla explained that with over 50,000 students and staff anyone who invests in transport services in the University would surely be doing a profitable business.
