The Newly admitted students

Professor Olanipekun gave the charge at the matriculation ceremonies held for candidates admitted into EKSU Sandwich Degree Programme for 2022 contact session and those admitted into the Part -Time Programmes of the institution.
The VC also noted that the part time program is not different from full time program except the mode.
The ceremonies were held separately at the university campus in Ado Ekiti.
In his address, the Vice Chancellor expressed delight that “EKSU alumni are making waves in their chosen careers all over the globe”
Professor Olanipekun urged the students to “abide by the contents of the Matriculation Oath,” adding that they should shun all acts inimical to good conduct.
