Today, I honored a long-planned commitment to attend the convocation ceremony at Dominican University, Samonda, Ibadan, Oyo State. where I have served as Pro-Chancellor since its inception nearly a decade ago.

My commitment to its growth and development remains steadfast.

The event provided an opportunity to reflect on the transformative power of education and the resilience of the human spirit in overcoming challenges.

The highlight of my speech was the inspiring story I shared with the graduating students about a young man I met this week, Mr. Johnathan Luke Wood, President of the University of California, Sacramento.

His life journey is a remarkable testament to determination against all odds. Born into adversity, he faced unimaginable challenges, including having his mother imprisoned, being adopted, and being suspended from school 42 times for truancy.

Despite these setbacks, he refused to let his circumstances define him. Instead, he rewrote his story, rising above his struggles to become the youngest president of an American university, the University of California, Sacramento.

His story serves as a powerful reminder of the boundless heights we can attain through hard work, resilience and determination.

I urged the students to appreciate the innovative knowledge and values instilled in them at Dominican University. I emphasized that success is not measured by what one takes from society but by what one contributes to it. I encouraged them to work diligently to transform our nation from a culture of consumption to one of production.

As part of my commitment to supporting education, I donated the sum of 50 million naira to Dominican University, reaffirming my belief in education as a cornerstone for societal progress.

I remain dedicated to initiatives that inspire hope, empower minds for a new Nigeria that is truly POssible! -PO
