FUNAAB graduates are Nigeria’s hope: VC
Kolawole Salako, the Vice-Chancellor of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), says graduates of the institution are the hope of a better Nigeria.
Mr Salako said this on Sunday in a statement by the FYNAAB’s spokesman Kola Adepoju.
The VC will preside over his last convocation ceremony at the 28th and 29th combined convocation ceremony on Wednesday and Thursday.
Mr Salako decried the spate of youths’ involvement in crimes, especially cyber crimes and money rituals.
According to him, however, given the quality of youths FUNAAB will graduate on Wednesday and Thursday, there is hope of a better future for Nigeria.
The vice-chancellor described the university graduates as individuals with worthy in character.
He stressed that the university had trained them to be self-reliant, wealth creators, and employers of labour for national development.
Mr Salako pointed out that the thematic concern of the convocation lecture was designed to address the challenges facing the nation’s graduates and youths in general in sourcing funds for their entrepreneurial drive.
According to him, a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Tunde Lemo, will deliver the lecture.
