MEET OUR HEROES 

INTERVIEW WITH THE BEST GRADUATING STUDENT, 2015/16 SESSION

1. Can we meet you sir?

My name is Adebayo Adedeji Kolawole. From Ibadan, Oyo State. The first born in a family of five. I had my primary school education in Jet-Age Nursery and Primary School, and secondary school education in Graceland High School. Both in Ibadan.

2. How do you feel today sir to have been inducted into the Veterinary profession?

Very fulfilled I must say. Those years in Vet school were very challenging. But with God's help, I was able to scale through.

3. You are the best graduating student this year sir with 6 distinctions. There must have been a lot of hard work involved. What are your motivations sir?

The main pushing force for me is the simple belief in the fact that for one to succeed in life, it is important to put in one's best in everything one does. God only blesses the work of our hands. Secondly, I believe in aiming for the best. Underestimating one's self is the beginning of failure.

4. What advice can you give to vet students who wish to achieve such feat sir?

It's quite simple. Examine the task ahead, make a decision to succeed, draw a plan, work towards the plan, pray and be consistent. However, all that requires a lot of determination and discipline.

5. Can we know your proposed area of specialization sir?

Small animal medicine.

6. Which lecturer are you most grateful to sir?

I really can't single out one lecturer. I'm very grateful to every lecturer in the Faculty. God bless them all.

7. Which was your best course of all the courses in the vet curriculum sir?

I liked many courses. Physiology, Virology, Theriogenology etc. It's difficult to choose one actually.

INTERVIEW WITH THE AVMS PRESIDENT, 2015/16 SESSION

1. Can we meet you sir?

I'm Dr. Adebayo Ariyo

2. How do you feel today sir to have been inducted into the Veterinary profession?

I feel so happy and excited today. Today is a day I have always dreamt of and now it is a reality.

3. You are the AVMS president for the 2015/16 session sir. You have combined politics with Vet and have been successful at both. What advice can you give to those who wish to achieve that sir but are doubtful if politics will not interfere with their academics?

Hmm. Vet alone is stressful, not to talk of combining it with politics. But all the same, my advice to everyone out there that wants to combine vet school with politics is all about dedication and commitment and also about management (I mean how you can balance the time for academics and also the time for politics). *STAY FOCUS...*

4. Can we know your proposed area of specialization sir?

Livestock production.

5. Which area of livestock production sir?

Poultry.

6. Which lecturer are you most grateful to sir?

Well, am so grateful to all my lecturers, without them I won't be who I'm today. But a special appreciation goes to Dr. Jeremiah

7. Which was your best course of all the courses in the vet curriculum sir?

Veterinary Theriogenology

I am Dr Ayeni Ayowole John

2. How do you feel today sir to have been inducted into the Veterinary profession?

To be sincere with you I feel very happy because I have been looking forward to this day since I was in Federal College of Animal Health and Production, Moor Plantation, Ibadan.

3. You are the Editor-in-Chief of Veterinary News Organisation for the 2015/16 session sir. You have been successful at both academics and press. What advice can you give to the Vet Students who want to achieve that also sir?

My advice for vet students is that they should not relax or give up when things are not going according to their plans. Nothing comes easy. None of these comes without a lot of challenges. They should stay focused and be determined.

4. Can we know your proposed area of specialization sir?

Poultry and Ruminants Medicine

5. Which lecturer are you most grateful to sir?

I am very grateful to them all. The combination of all their efforts make me who I am today. Dr Jagun has been exceptionally wonderful to me though.

Poultry and Ruminant Medicine. I really can’t choose between those two.
