Adeleke find drugs

Osogbo—Adeleke University, Ede, Osun State, has
recorded a medical breakthrough when a team of
medical researchers in the institution produced a

mixture for the treatment of patients with
damaged livers.
The Vice Chancellor, Professor Oluwole Amusan,
who disclosed this to pressmen yesterday during
a press briefing ahead of the second convocation
of the university scheduled for July 17, 2016,
said that a human volunteer had been cured of a
liver problem when the drug was tested on him.
Though Prof. Amusan did not say much on the
development, he however stressed that the
medical research breakthrough borders on
antioxidant and hepato- protective potentials of
lemon juice and sorghum mixture against
paracetmol-induced liver damage in rats.
He attributed the feat to the academic staff’s
deep commitment to discipline, professionalism
and respect for the quality standard that the
university stands for.
According to him, out of the 266 students who
would graduate from different faculties with first
degrees, 23 came out with First Class Division,
143 finished with Second Class Upper, while 97
made Second Class Lower Division.
The VC also announced the award of honorary
degrees to deserving personalities, including the
Timi of Ede, Oba Munirudeen Lawal, who will be
offered the Honorary Degree of Science in Public
Administration and Leadership.
