The University of Ilorin, Kwara State issued out an official statement on Sunday stating that they have accepted the withdrawal of a student who decided to renounce his studentship, after he accepted Christ and became born again.
The said student who goes by the name Jephtaph Abolarin a 300 level student of the institution wrote a letter to the administration of the school claiming to have cheated his ways into the university by cheating during his SSCE exams.
The letter was written to the institution's Deputy Vice Chancellor Academics Prof Sidiqat Ijaiya a little earlier than a month before the statement was issued.
This rather unusual development has sparked a lot of emotions with quite a number of people thinking he did the right thing with another faction condemning his act.
The VC of the school congratulated him and wished him well in his future endeavors.
An excerpt from the letter reads “Just as a house that was built on a faulty foundation will surely collapse, it is also certain that a career that is built on a faulty foundation will definitely collapse. All through my secondary school days, I was just a church ‘goer’, without genuine salvation and the fear of God. As a result, I got my WASSCE result through examination malpractice.
“By the grace of God, now, I have encountered the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which called for repentance and restitution.
“Sir, with deep conviction, I have realised that there is no point building my academic career on a faulty foundation; since the WASSCE result I got through malpractice is the basis in which my admission into this university was anchored.
“Therefore, I have decided to withdraw from the university and start all over again.”
