The post
graduate students were part of the 593 new students who matriculated for the
2020/2021 academic session.
The Vice
Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Emmanuel Aluyor, who performed the
matriculation and induction ceremony, reiterated the management’s commitment in
ensuring that all programmes offered by the institution are completed within
the stipulated time frame.
He charged
the new students to make the best use of the facilities provided in the
University to become grounded and employable after graduation, even as he
assured the students of the University’s resolve to continue to produce the
highest quality graduates.
He however
warned against acts that are inimical to the university environment and the
society at large.
“We as a
University have made a commitment to run all our programmes within the
stipulated time for the progammes.
“You can
attest to the fact that we have kept faith with this commitment for our
undergraduates. Despite the Covid pandemic, we graduated our students in 2020
as planned,” Aluyor said.
The VC who
congratulated the new students for their successful admission into the
University, urged parents to take advantage of the Learning Management System
(LMS), to monitor the academic performance of their children from home.
He thanked
the state Governor and Visitor to the University, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, for his
support in making the institution achieve its set goals over the years.
In his
remark, a former Chief of Staff to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Mike
Ogiadomhe, advised the matriculating students to direct their energies to the
course for which they are in the University, so that they would be found worthy
in character and in learning at the end of their course.
He urged
them to work hard to make the University, not just one of the best, but the
very best University in the country.
According
to him, “This is one of the best universities we have in the country as at
today, by standards and I will like it to be the best university in Nigeria”.
