Anake attributed the academic performance to the determination of the students, the dedication of the university’s faculty and its commitment to academic excellence.
He reaffirmed the institution’s resolve to produce graduates capable of competing in the labour market, creating employment opportunities, establishing businesses, advancing research and contributing meaningfully to society.
The Chancellor of the university, Dr David Oyedepo, urged the graduates to become problem-solvers rather than wait for others to address societal challenges.
Oyedepo said the numerous problems confronting society presented opportunities for graduates to develop innovative solutions and make meaningful contributions in their chosen fields. He also advised them to discover their purpose and remain committed to it.
The Pro-Chancellor, Mrs Faith Oyedepo, congratulated the graduates and encouraged them to embrace continuous learning, develop relevant skills and prepare for emerging opportunities.
She urged them to create solutions to challenges facing humanity and use their achievements to make a positive impact on society, while advising them to uphold the truth and maintain integrity.
