The First Class graduate of the Covenant University, Ogun State, urged them to take keen interest in career opportunities as well as know their individual capability, assuring them that they are going to excel in their future endearvours.

A parent, Mr Peter Letsuusa, lauded the management and staff of the college for adding value to the lives of students, while Mr Olusegun Abimbola, also a parent,  commended the college for its secure environment and urged the outgoing students not to relent in academic pursiuts.

On his part, the principal of the college, Akanbi  Obaloja, urged the graduands not to fall short of the standard laid down by the college, adding that it is a life-long relationship.

He encouraged them to continue to demonstrate virtues of self-discipline and  self-control instilled in them, most especially at the higher education level when no one will be there to monitor them again.

“Your parents are your best ever instructors; their counsel will do you a lot of good. What you may not see while standing on a skyscraper, they see even while sitting down,” he said.
