DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH RELEASES ENG 101 RESULTS

By Oladapo Comfort  The Department of English at Obafemi Awolowo University has released the results for ENG 101, a core course for Part One students. The results, which were made available on Friday, April 24, 2026, have also been pasted on the department’s notice board, displaying students’ names and matriculation numbers.

"AT SOME POINT, I HAD DROPPED OUT IN MY HEAD LIKE A MILLION TIMES. THEN I’D REMEMBER I STILL HAD ASSIGNMENTS DUE." - CALEB PAMILERIN SOBALOJU

By Mercy Ojegbola  Pamilerin Sobaloju is the Founder and CEO of Fluxt, a conversational fintech platform rethinking how people access and use money across different literacy levels, languages, and borders. He didn’t grow up as the “smart kid.” Often seen as the black sheep of the family, he didn’t fit into traditional expectations early on. That perspective shaped how he sees systems today — many are not broken because people can’t use them, but because they were never designed for them in the first place.
