SAFETY MEASURES FOR STUDENTS DURING EXAMINATION PERIOD
The Student Union in collaboration with the University Management is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all students, especially during the examination period. As such, we urge all students to take extra precautions to stay safe and secure while on campus.
It is essential for students to walk in illuminated areas and be aware of their surroundings at all times. Avoid walking alone at night and, if possible, walk in groups. Also, keep your mobile phones charged and readily accessible in case of an emergency.
Similarly, the University Management has taken several measures to improve safety on campus. Bushes and foliage around campus have been trimmed to improve visibility and reduce hiding spots for potential threats. Security officials are also on patrol 24/7 to ensure the safety of students and prevent any security breaches.
We encourage all students to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the security officials. The University Management, in collaboration with the Student Union, remains committed to ensuring that all students have a safe and secure environment to carry out their academic pursuits.
Stay safe and focused on your studies.
Thank you.

VIRTUAL LECTURER EVALUATION PLATFORM
This is to inform students of the Better-By-Far Varsity that the Quality Assurance Unit of the University of Ilorin has announced the launch of a virtual lecturer evaluation platform.

To access the platform, students are required to follow the link provided: https://www.unilorin.edu.ng/lecturers-evaluation/
Here, they can drop their ratings and leave it for the management to utilize. The management intends to use the results to identify areas for improvement and provide necessary support for the lecturers.
The Quality Assurance Unit encourages all students to utilize this opportunity to provide constructive feedback and contribute to the improvement of the quality of teaching and learning at the University of Ilorin.
We are confident that this platform will go a long way in improving the quality of education at the University of Ilorin, and we appreciate the cooperation of all students and lecturers in this initiative.
