UNILORIN Student Dies by Suicide Amid Economic Hardship

A 200-level male student of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), Kwara State, has reportedly taken his own life due to economic hardship. The deceased, a Mass Communication student with a strong academic record of a 4.5 CGPA, was said to be struggling financially, especially after losing his father years ago, leaving his retired mother as his sole provider. His financial troubles reportedly worsened when he resumed school last year, prompting his colleagues to assist by raising funds for his tuition and basic needs. Despite these efforts, he allegedly consumed a poisonous substance at his private residence in the Oke-Odo area of Tanke, Ilorin, after leaving a note explaining his struggles. His roommate discovered the tragic incident upon returning from lectures, leading to widespread shock and mourning within the university community.
