Kunle’s future undecided

THE fate of Nigerian student Olukunle Eluhanla is still in the balance as Justice Minister Michael McDowell has yet to decide on his request to be allowed stay in Ireland.

The 20-year-old, known to his friends as Kunle, was deported home last March when his asylum application had failed.

But after a high-profile campaign by his fellow Leaving Certificate students at Palmerstown Community School in Dublin, the minister reversed his decision and granted Mr Eluhanla a six-month student visa to allow him take his exams last June.
