The Vice-Chancellor disclosed this on Friday at the university's convocation.


The Igbinedion University, Okada in Edo State, said it has commenced the process of manufacturing light weight electric minibus, the first by any university in the country.

The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Lawrence Ezemonye, said this on Friday at the 21st convocation of the country’s first private university.

Mr Ezemonye, a professor, said that the design and fabrication that would lead to the production of the vehicles were ongoing.

“Research, development and innovation are critical to scholarship and knowledge production.

“The university’s efforts in this regard received a boost with the ongoing design and fabrication of Light Weight Electric Minibus, which will ultimately lead to the manufacture of light weight vehicles.

“There will be periodic public lectures at various phases of the project, while the engineering students are expected to come up with research topics at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels relevant to the project,” Mr Ezemonye said.

Meanwhile, the vice-chancellor has announced that 842 students graduated for the 2022/2023 session.

He said that 36 made First Class Honours, while 299 graduated with Second Class Honours (Upper Division).

The Vice-Chancellor reeled out the achievements of the university in the last one year to include the establishment of a Centre for Distance Learning, campus-wide digitalisation and innovation and scholarships.

The Chancellor of the university, Gabriel Igbinedion, charged the graduates to be good ambassadors of their Alma Mater and impact the world by being the best.

Mr Igbinedion, represented by his deputy and son, Lucky Igbinedion, charged them to build and create powerful networks that would open doors of opportunities for them in different spheres of life.

In a convocation lecture, a maritime expert, Felicia Mogo, called on the graduates to think outside the box by making themselves competitive in the larger society.

Ms Mogo, who is the founder, African Marine Environment Sustainability Initiative, encouraged them to be steadfast in the pursuit of knowledge, exchange of diverse thoughts and experiences.

She said that this would enable them to capture the world and leverage innovation to attain greatness in life.

At least the school suppose to finish one first before public announcement. You are taking glory of first university to produce electric vehicle, but no single prototype is available to display. The school is still at elementary stage; you wouldn't know if other university is at the last stage of production cycle. All I see here is just media talk to woo jambites.

Students bringing topic on related areas is good but just a media talk to sell your school logically. Is it student project as first private university that carried you to this level? 2/3 month rush-rush projects to meet NYSC deadline. Project that many so called supervisors can't even supervise because they lack industrial experiences.

At least I am happy with the school for using logic to advertise herself, but just try keep matching words with actions

Buhari has made me dislike any news that emphasizes on TO.

Nigeria TO build this...
Nigeria TO create that...

At the end of the day, 80% didn't materialize. I want people who have started and gone far already. Thank God these people have started already unlike Nigeria's former ruler who uses TO and SHOCK too much, yet nothing happens.

Mumu chriminals everywhere. always projecting rubbish in air, hopeless and baseless pontifications. who are they trying to fool at this time, the whole games these politicians and affiliates are playing has cast already, the people are fully aware now, the storm is gathering, all the elements needed for combustion are already in place, the last misssing puzzle was the judiciary, which has been exposed as well. what is left now is just the spark.

Typical African man mentality.
How many brands of cars do they have in US, UK, Germany, Japan….etc?
We think monopoly is good for the economy?
Competition drives innovation most importantly with guaranteed customer satisfaction. Be happy for all the players, stop hating
