“Having a second convocation within one year shows an improvement on the university’s curriculum as well as a timely release of the computer-based results in line with the best academic practices,’’ he said.

 

He said his administration would offer quality education and professional programme to build the university that would serve as intellectual and cultural centre for the promotion of new ideas and partnerships.

 

In his remarks, the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman, Governing Council, Mr. Micheal Olorunfemi, urged the graduating students to be good ambassadors of their alma-mater wherever they go.

“Today is an occasion to celebrate the successes of our children and wards who devoted themselves to academic demands.

“Today is a day to reward their devotions and sacrifices to academics.

“I urge you graduates to be good ambassadors of your alma mater by doing what is right as well as contributing your quota to improving the university’s standard."
