The institution’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof.
Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, disclosed this on the
sidelines of the yearly interaction with
newsmen on Tuesday in Lagos.
He however said the four-day convocation
activities which would end on Feb. 22. would
be slightly adjusted, and would be different
from those of the past.
“This time, we will make a few changes and
introduce a few items to make the ceremonies
lively and memorable.
“For instance, the convocation venue will
move from the usual multi-purpose hall known
as Jelili Omotola Hall to the main auditorium
known as Ade Ajayi Hall.
“But we will soon come up with a line-up of
events to kick-start the convocation.
“The events normally begin with a convocation
media briefing, followed by the convocation
lecture, among others,’’ the vice-chancellor
said.
Ogundipe explained that the university
management would also ensure a rebranding
of the institution, especially in the area of
research, innovation, incubation and
entrepreneurship. (NAN)
