It is a time to raise voices of gratitude to Allah on the well deserved elevation of distinguished Ilorin Emirate's worthy sons and daughters to the Proffesorial rank in varied disciplines at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria.

Nothing could have been most meaningful and applauded to an average Ilorin Emirate than recording breakthrough in scholarship since the foundation of the Emirate is rooted in knowledge and faith.

The Barth of these latest galaxies is a resounding feedback to the ignorance of yester-years' taunt of *Awon* *Ilorin* *o* *kawe* (Ilorin do not go to school), Alhamdulilahi robil alamina.

However, we owed greater appreciation to the uncommon epochal efforts of Professor Shuaib Oba Abdulraheem, OFR, NPOM; and the tender interests of Professors Is-haq Oloyede, OFR, FNAL; Abdulganiyu Ambali, OON, FMSN and Sulyman Age Abdulkareem, who consistently have been very supportive in the match towards this attainments.
