“This is a crucial point that comes with opportunities and challenges. The choices you make here-after will go a long way in shaping your career in the future.
“I want you to always remember where you are coming from and where you are heading. The determination, diligence, hardwork and honesty you put into your endeavours will ensure the sky is not just your limit, but your starting point.”
Meanwhile, Senator Ndoma-Egba seized the opportunity to heap praises on the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Abayomi Sunday Fasina for the rapid and exponential growth and development FUOYE has experienced since the commencement of his administration.
He said : “The progress we have witnessed is a testament to the efforts being made by the Vice- Chancellor and the results are evident.
“I also want to use this opportunity to salute my predecessors for the solid foundation they have laid for our growth and I must particularly mention my immediate past predecessor here in FUOYE, who also happens to be my successor in Lokoja, Engineer Kayode Ojo but has since been redeployed again to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.”
