Crescent Varsity Convocates 435...As A 20-Year Old Leads The Pack
A total of 435 students have graduated at Crescent University, Abeokuta during the institution’s seventh convocation. The students graduated from Colleges of Information and Communication Technology, Natural and Applied Sciences, Social and Management Sciences as well as Environmental Sciences.
The founder and Proprietor of the university, Judge Bola Ajibola expressed delight that graduates of the university continued to perform exceedingly well in both industry and postgraduate studies, which according to him lent unassailable credence to the depth of the certificates awarded by the institution.
Charged the graduands, Ajibola described them as “inheritors of a legacy of success, urging them to reach out to the world as their predecessors have done.”
He further “I urge you all to exert your very best and raise the bar of expectations wherever you find yourselves, be it in industry or academics.”
The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ibraheem Gbajabiamila expressed delight that the four hundred and thirty-five graduands were certified worthy in character and learning as enshrined in the mission and vision of the university.
He specifically commended the overall best graduating student, Miss Oyinkansola Fagbohun and two others(Garba Gambo and Hassan Haladu) who were on kano State scholarship and finished with first-class respectively, stressing that the university’s vision of uniting the Northern and Southern Nigeria had been fulfilled.
In her valedictory speech, the overall best graduating student, Oyinkansola Fagbohun who had the total Cumulative Grade point Average(CGPA) of 4.85 from Department of Economics credited the parting words of her secondary school principal as her motivation.
Fagbohun dismissed the insinuation that private university education was a piece of cake, emphasising that she initially found it difficult in her first semester which made her to cry herself to sleep every night.
The 20-year old Fagbohun acknowledged that Crescent University, Abeokuta academic curriculum had broadened her horizon and charged his colleagues to be good ambassadors of the institution anywhere they might find themselves.
She said, as an usher, she was amazed the first time she witnessed the institution’s valedictorian deliver his speech in 2011.
