The Vice Chancellor of the Ekiti State University (EKSU), Professor Patrick Oladipo Aina, has advised fresh students of the institution to face their academic activities and avoid unnecessary prolongation of their stay in the university.
Professor Aina gave the admonition on Tuesday, February 24, during the matriculation ceremony for the 2014/2015 academic session freshers.
Congratulating the new students, he said that they should consider themselves lucky to be chosen out of the thousands of candidates who made EKSU their first choice, adding that the university was a refinery for better life.
The Registrar of the university, Mr Adebisi Ogunyemi administered the matriculation oath on the students.
Meanwhile, several dignitaries, including experts in Food and Chemistry, will storm the university on March 10 for the 41st Inaugural Lecture of the university titled, ‘Food and Chemistry: Catalysts for Sustainable Development.’
The lecture will be delivered by a renowned Professor of Food Chemistry, Professor Ibiyinka Ogunlade, while Professor Patrick Oladipo Aina would chair the event.
