Oyedepo, at the 19th matriculation ceremony of the institution for the 2020/2021 academic session, reiterated the school’s commitment to empowering students through qualitative education to solve the nation’s challenges.
He said, “I admonish all parents and guardians, to help in ensuring that their sons, daughters, and wards align with the training mode at Covenant University which is to raise a new generation of leaders through a qualitative and life-applicable training system that focuses on value and skill development.
“The nation needs to invest and focus more on capacity building to surmount some of the country’s challenges. We are raising a new generation of leaders through a broad-based qualitative education built on sound biblical principles, culminating in the birth of path-finders, pace-setters, and trail-blazers.”
The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Abiodun Adebayo, said the school was committed to making its graduates expert thinkers, leaders, managers, and hyper resourceful technocrats.
No fewer than 1,766 students, comprising of 159 postgraduates and 1,607 undergraduate students, were matriculated.
