The vice-chancellor urged the students to always be guided by the university’s core values of godliness, excellence, service, leadership, integrity and innovation.

“Today marks a new dawn for all of you, it is the beginning of the next and most important phases of your life.

“I urge you to take it seriously and with utmost dedication of your life,” she said.

She added that the university would remain committed to pursuing academic brilliance and nurturing generation of innovative and informed leaders.

Giving his keynote address at the event, Dr Emma Jimo, challenged the students to make a self discovery of who they are as this is the basis of becoming great in life.

Jimo, a lecturer with the Department of Politics and International Relations, Lead City University, Ibadan, urged the students to be innovative.

He told them to challenge the status quo and shun all forms of negative tendencies.

The Chancellor and founder of the university, Dr Winifred Awosika, advised the students to always abide by the rule and regulations of the university.(NAN)
