Ijebor’s presence on stage will inevitably invite comparisons with Temi Agoro. While Agoro has the formal thespian training to boost her performance, Ijebor’s approach to the role may be done simply with outsider instincts and adaptability. AUTHOR: Eniola Awolesi K. At University of Ibadan’s Theatre Arts department, the theatre and its stagecraft-art are seen as a profession, and more than that, a heritage. So in casting decisions, the casting of a non-thespian in a major role is about as rare as a honest politician. Yet, this year’s ambitious theatrical performance by JJ Classics Production of SANKARA has done just that. A sociology sophomore by academic discipline, the spotlight has fallen on Osaremeh Ijebor as a frontline actor playing the requisite role of Mariam Sankara, wife of the revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso. Of the 13 actors that make up the mainstage and student show cast, Ijebor is the only non-thespian. As a cast in the student show, she will be shadowing main...
Peace Nkenta As at 2:25p.m on Friday, the 15th of May 2026, Peter Adegoke, President of the Faculty of The Social Sciences was impeached with a total of 14 out of 16 votes which represented more than two-thirds of the House and four other members of the executive council (which included the Vice President, the Social Director, the Sports Director and the Financial Secretary) were suspended for two weeks with a total of 9 out of 16 votes during the ordinary sitting held at the Small Lecture Theater (SLT).

Peace Nkenta On Monday, 14th of July, two students, Aduwo Ayodele, a final year student of the History Department, and Gbadegesin Olamide, a final year Master’s student at the Institute of African Studies, received a four-semester suspension. This decision was taken during the Central Student Disciplinary Committee (SDC) sitting held earlier today involving the Vice Chancellor amongst other members of the University management. The reason for the suspension is that both students participated in the peaceful protest that took place during the Erstwhile Students’ Union President (Aweda Bolaji)'s administration. Aduwo Ayodele confirmed this development. In his words “Yes, we have been suspended for four semesters without committing any crime other than protesting against the hike in school fees”. This development follows after the students had earlier appeared before the SDC panel twice. Meanwhile, Nice Linus of the Faculty of Law was not invited to the panel, and her case remain...
