No fewer than 8,692 graduates on Saturday
bagged diplomas and first degrees at the 20th
convocation of the Ambrose Alli University,
Ekpoma.

The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof.
Ignatius Onimawo, who presided over the
ceremony, said the graduates were drawn from
the 2013/2014 and the 2014/2015 academic
sessions. He said that the university also conferred degrees on 492 post graduates in the two sessions.

The Vice Chancellor said that since the
inauguration of the university’s governing
council in 2013, 14 of its programmes had got full accreditation, eight interim while six were
denied. Onimawo, however, said that the areas of shortfall had since been remedied and the
university was ready for re-assessment in these
areas.

He also disclosed that 136 academic staff, 276
senior non-teaching staff and 443 junior staff had been promoted. In his opening remarks, the chancellor of the university and Etsu Nupe, Alhaji (Dr) Yahaya Abubakar, said that education was a system that started from birth. He said that it was like a relay race which must
be faced with humble heart and open arms. Abubakar told the graduates that their
graduation was the climax of a strong spirit and
sacrifice.

The traditional ruler said that the graduation
ceremony should be the springboard for greater achievements for them in the future. Abubakar urged them to always look around for
a problem they could solve and they would
never be poor in doing so.

Also speaking, Gov. Adams Oshiomhole of Edo,
stressed the need for Nigeria to re-order its
priorities, as the education system must never be allowed to fail. He said that his administration had accomplished a lot in education such as increasing the annual
subvention to the institution from N1.2 billion to
N3.6 billion.

The governor said that government must never
default in ensuring that teaching and learning
continued.
