Congratulating the students, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Folasade Ogunsola, OON, FAS, described the University of Lagos as a platform for dream actualisation.

According to her, universities remain solution centres for global challenges, with postgraduate scholarship playing a central role in national and global transformation.
She further stated that “the UNILAG experience is transformational, combining academic learning with experiential opportunities that prepare students for leadership and societal impact”.

In his remarks, the Dean of the School of Postgraduate Studies, Professor Abraham Osinubi, described postgraduate education as a pathway to developing impactful future leaders.
