Yoruba students at the Moddibo Adama University of Technology, Yola (MAUTECH) under the aegis of Yoruba Students Association (YOSSA) last Saturday dressed in various traditional attires to mark the crowning of a new king (Oba) and the inauguration of executives of the association.
Bayo Nurudeen, 500-Level Information Technology, is the new king.
The occasion, which started at 11am, in front of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, attracted a large crowd of students and staff, including the patron of the association, Prof Babatope Alo.
The outgoing president, Olatunde Jeje, 400-Level Electrical Electronics Engineering, thanked his colleagues for giving him the opportunity to serve them and for making out time to attend the event.
He reminded them of the goal of the association, which is to promote unity and love among Yoruba students in the university, irrespective of their states of origin. He charged them to always promote their culture and desist from acts that could taint the image of the association and the race.
The incoming president, Sunday Ajibade, 300-Level Construction Technology Education, promised to work closely with the Oba and his council to ensure that the goal of the association is achieved.
Others crowned included the Olori (king’s wife), Nurat Mahmud, 500-Level Information Technology; Otunba (king’s right hand man), Oladimeji Buhari, 500-Level Microbiology; Asiwaju (a chief), Opeyemi Ajibade, 400-Level Economics and Yeye of Yoruba students (women leader), Kafayat Oyewole, 400-Level Accounting.
