The Chrisland University Abeokuta has matriculated a total of 381 students across disciplines for the 2021/2022 academic session.
The vice-chancellor of the university, Prof Chinedum Peace Babalola, at the 7th matriculation event, on Tuesday, urged the students to give their studies and other legitimate activities expected of them utmost attention and also be of good behaviour in and outside the campus.
She said that were the ways they could do well and graduate with good grades and character and also in record times.
The vice-chancellor, who used lessons from the wisdom of the ants, a small insect, in the Holy Bible, to admonish the students, said they should be self-motivated and disciplined, focus and diligent just like Ant does and able to feed well and still store some food for the rainy days.
“So, don’t be lazy and don’t procrastinate. Don’t engage in cultism, hooliganism nor in any other social vices such as examination malpractice and fighting,” she counselled.
Speaking further, she said, “Chrisland University has a zero-tolerance for such practices and that is why it won’t hesitate to sanction any student who is found culpable of any of these vices.
