VC underscores hard work, perseverance as success factors

Hard work, perseverance and commitment to study have been identified as prerequisites for outstanding academic performance.

Professor Arigbabu advised the new students to shun all forms of deviant behaviours, saying the university has zero tolerance for all vices, and would mete out stiff punishments for various offences.

He assured the students of maximum security, stable academic calendar and conducive learning environment, which he noted make the university stand out among its peers.

The vice chancellor also urged the new students to always contact the university‘s counselor when necessary, and to avail themselves the opportunity of partaking in all sporting, religious and other activities on campus.

The oath of allegiance was administered by the acting registrar, Mr. Tunde Oduwole.
