The Vice-Chancellor of Ajayi Crowther University (ACU), Oyo, Professor Timothy Adebayo, has praised the Mind Education programme integrated into the institution’s curriculum, describing it as a “remarkably impactful initiative” already delivering notable positive changes among students.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speaking following a three-day Mind Education Camp—led by the Dean of the Faculty of Education, Professor Ronke Ogunmakin, and supported by a team of Mind Educators from South Korea—Professor Adebayo highlighted the programme’s international success and far-reaching influence.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by the university and made available to PUNCH Online on Thursday.

“Mind Education is a transformative tool that empowers young people to re-examine and embrace values vital to unity and peaceful coexistence,” the Vice-Chancellor noted.

He explained that although the university formally adopted the programme two years ago, it has been running in South Korea since 2001 and is steadily expanding across continents, including Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

Professor Adebayo recalled that his decision to introduce the initiative to ACU was made after attending an international education conference in Seoul, South Korea, in 2023, where global educators emphasized the role of Mind Education in national development.

“After attending the conference, I was inspired to bring the programme to ACU,” he said. “I discussed it with Professor Ogunmakin—who had also attended the World Education Summit—and with the university’s management. We collectively agreed that, beyond fostering our students’ mental growth, the programme could significantly contribute to promoting national values.”

He noted that the university is already witnessing the programme’s positive impact.

“Mind Education has become so essential that it now constitutes one of the three certificates awarded to students upon graduation, reflecting its significance,” Adebayo said.

“I can confidently state that the initiative has greatly enhanced our students’ emotional intelligence. They now display improved emotional regulation, increased patience, greater resilience, and more thoughtful decision-making and mental discipline,” he added.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
