Unknown Gunmen Kill PRNigeria Ex-Intern who recently Bagged First Class from BUK

Unknown gunmen have killed Mr. Sule Mathew, a first-class graduate of Communication and former intern with PRNigeria while travelling to Anambra State with other passengers.

Mathew, who studied Information and Media Studies, graduated with first-class from the Faculty of Communication, Bayero University Kano (BUK), recently.

He was killed with other passengers at Ekwulobia one of the largest cities in Anambra State after Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi.

The remains are reportedly Deposited at the General Hospital Ekwulobia

A coursemate of Mr Mathew who also interned with him at PRNigeria, Salis Manager, said Mathew was billed to participate in the forthcoming orientation programme of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) before his death.

“Mathew was among the first set of students to intern with PRNigeria Centre in Kano in 2019. He lost his father in June, few months to his final examination, and graduated as the overall best student of our Department in August 2021 and was due to enrol for mandatory NYSC programme next week.” Salis said

“He was on a 6-month non-residential fellowship program that trains, and mentors young citizen activists to push for democratic reforms – Gidan Yanci. He was on his way to Anambra from Abuja when the gunmen attacked their vehicle” a tear-filled Mr Gambo Ibrahim, a bosom friend of Mr Mathew, who had been living with him right from their Diploma days narrated.

His sister, Jemila disclosed that Mathew travelled with his boss on an ill-fated day along with other passengers including the driver in a private vehicle.

“After waylaying them, the gunmen opened fire on them killing all of them except the driver who escaped. So, when we couldn’t reach him and hear of the incidence, we sent Sule’s picture to the mortuary to confirm if he was among those killed and we got feedback that he was identified among those killed,” she narrated.

“Prior to this sad news, I kept calling him on phone but couldn’t reach him then suddenly we heard this sad news. I am so shocked,” Binta Musawa, Mr Sule’s coursemate stated.

Mr Mathew hails from Ayangaba Kogi State. He was co-founder of hostutors.com a Nigeria social enterprise that focuses on making learning in formal and vocational education accessible and affordable for everyone by connecting all categories of learners with best-fit tutors.

His body is yet to be released at the time of this report from the mortuary at Ekwulobia.

Read his last post during final examinations in 2021

So what has really changed after 4 years?

4 years ago, I made a decision to leave everything including my Distinction result in HND 1 to Pursue a University degree. Today, I am graduating, Let’s look at what has really changed in the past 4years.

Before I dive into the tales of “my transitions ” I want to sincerely extend my appreciation to God and to everyone who have been part of my academic journey – My Parents, Uncle Joe, Aunty Omaye… the list is endless.

My lecturers who opened the doors of their offices and of their hearts to share in my personal stories of losses and gains.

My friends who made me feel too well at home even though I traveled closely 800KM away from my home, you made BUK “HOME away from HOME” for me.

Thank you Google – for your many products and services. ??

SO WHAT HAS REALLY CHANGED

1. My understanding of the world: I was born and raised in a village of less than 70 houses at a time and my life, until 2015, had revolved around only 3 major towns in Kogi state. This singular most overlooked experience shaped my understanding of the world and my interactions with same.
However, my exposure to people, places and circumstances fairly different from what I was familiar with, has reshaped my understanding of the world around me – By learning, unlearning and relearning the core values of the varying cultures with which I interacted.

Some of the very funny, very basic and more valuable part of my learnings are; I have learnt to correct my pronunciations of English words, delimitate my strong mother’s tongue interference, learn basics of other languages, learn new foods and practice some new ways of life.
Professionally, I have been trained through my well structured course to a remarkable level of proficiency in information technology, media and communication sciences (majoring on the new media) – thanks to my inspiring Head of Department- Dr. Nura Ibrahim and all the highly committed staff members of the department of information and Media Studies and the entire faculty of communication-Bayero University, Kano.

Combining my class work with some out-of-class training has helped me to personally advance my technical skills and have strengthened my flare for technological innovations. I am now experienced in UI/UX design.

My strong engagements in extracurricular activities have modeled me in the path of projects managements. Please hire me.

While pursuing good grades and wanting to gain life saving experiences, I am happy that I didn’t sacrifice the place of building a great network- my friends are my greatest assets.

My greatest joy lies in those that could count me as being part of their academic success. I sincerely regret those times I couldn’t reach out to those that needed my help.

My best moments as an undergraduate student were at the reception of my first scholarship, my certificate of recognition from my VC- Prof. Yahuza Bello, the Honorable mention award from Facebook (with my team at heartUmight) and my finalist award at enactus National competition (2019 with my team)

The saddest part of my story is returning home and meeting my father no more. Rest In Peace father.
