The Chief Imam of University of Ibadan, Professor Muftau Abdulrahman Oloyede has advised Nigerians to stop cursing the country.
Oloyede charged the citizens to continue to pray for the country and its leaders instead of cursing them.
The professor of Arabic and Islamic studies made these declarations while delivering his special Jumat Service held to precede activities for the 2024 convocation ceremonies and 76th Foundation Day Anniversary of the institution.
The Don, while addressing the congregation, noted that the many challenges facing the education sector and poor welfare packages for the academic researchers have led to despair, relocation to greener pastures, and the brain drain syndrome.
Oloyede while speaking further, then advised the citizens not to be involved in vices nor contribute to the brain drain syndrome.
He urged them to have a mindset of giving back to society after benefiting from the educational sector.
He also encouraged youths to maximise opportunities within the country to move the country forward.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Administration, Professor Peter Olapegba, in his address expressed gratitude to God for the gift of life and the grace to witness another year and for sustaining the institution for the past 76 years.
Olapegba who spoke on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Professor Kayode Adebowale, appreciated the Chief Imam and the University of Ibadan Muslim Community for consistent prayers and support for the present administration.
