The Supremacy Cup quarter-finals delivered high-stakes drama across both legs, as teams fought relentlessly for a place in the semi-finals in a round defined by tension, fine margins, and standout performances.

Business Administration edged past Accounting in a fiercely contested tie, showing composure when it mattered most. After securing a narrow 1–0 advantage in the first leg through Seanpaul’s penalty, they held firm despite a second-leg response from Accounting, sealing qualification on aggregate and proving their resilience under pressure.

The Department of Animal Science also booked their place in the semi-finals, overcoming Philosophy across two legs. Fiyin once again rose to the occasion, finding the net and continuing his impressive scoring streak to guide his side through.
In one of the most tactical battles, Mathematics turned things around against Computer Science. After taking a first-leg advantage through a player named Gaius, Mathematics held their nerve in the return leg to secure progression into the semi-finals. 
Meanwhile, Physics continued to build their reputation as the tournament’s most disciplined side. With yet another composed display, they maintained their incredible defensive record, yet to concede a single goal, while doing just enough to see off their opponents and march into the last four.
With only four teams; Mathematics, Physics, Animal Science, and Business Administration left standing, the Supremacy Cup is now in its penultimate stage. Every pass, tackle, and goal now carries the weight of destiny, as only the strongest will survive the road to glory.

Her condition has been described as critical, and she is currently admitted to Purplemed Kidney Centre in Ibadan. According to a voice note Regina sent to her brother, Joel Boluwatife Babalola, on May 20, the illness began with her vision becoming blurred and difficulty seeing, which prompted her to visit the Health Centre. After a check-up conducted at the Pharmacy, it was discovered that she had high blood pressure.

By Joy Oludele, Eniola Adeyeye and Israel Bakare  Before assuming the office of Students' Union President, Omoboriowo Damilola Isaac, the President of the Great Ife Students' Union, made a series of promises aimed at improving students' lives and addressing pressing campus concerns. These commitments formed the foundation of the campaign manifesto that earned him support from the student body. However, as the term progressed, many of these promises remained unfulfilled, raising questions about leadership effectiveness, planning, and accountability. The fact that the current President as the head of the Central Executives Council (CEC) has achieved some laudable feats cannot be overlooked. Back in August 2024, the Students' Union executives opposed the bus drivers who wanted to increase the bus fares from ₦150 to ₦200. For a while, the Students' Union provided buses to convey students for ₦100. In addition, the President has facilitated the construction o...
