Former students of Ladoke Akintola University, Ogbomosho under the auspices of the LAUTECH alumni association have donated N500,000 to Oludare Alaba, a graduate of the institution who returned his certificate allegedly for not being useful or helpful to him.
Oludare Alaba had caused a stir when he went to the Vice Chancellor’s office in the university and demanded to see the vice chancellor, and had insisted that he wanted to return his certificate and get a refund of payments made for his education there.
In an interview by Tribune Online, Alaba said he was frustrated and that he needed money to nurture his music career, while also seeking employment for his wife so that he could concentrate on his passion.
