Mr Elom also told the new students that the matriculation marks the beginning of a new phase in their lives.
“What you will end up with and how you will end up depends on how serious you take your academic activities.
“Do your assignments promptly, do not be distracted by the so-called side attractions on and off the campus, keep your eyes strictly on the ball,” he added.
