SIGN OF PROGRESS
The upward movement of these indicators is a

REBUILD & DEVELOP NATION
Considering the present
economic dilemma in the
country, it is obvious that we
need young people like you to
rebuild and develop our
nation.
I am also aware that most of the
matriculating students today fall
within the adolescent population
that are in the transitional stage
of physical, psychological and
spiritual development preparing
to enter legal adulthood and August 29,

societal living.
Being naïve and vulnerable to psychic
manipulation, the University will provide you with
direction onto the right path and mold your
character for national development.
This is in line with the scripture in Proverbs 22:6
“Train up a child in the way he/she should go and
when he/she grow old, he/she will not depart from
it”.
Indeed, our nation need young people like you to
be intellectually competent through the
possession of scientific and as well August 29,

KNOWLEDGE OF PRINCIPLE
Beyond the knowledge of principles and concepts
of students’ courses of study, university
education opens up the brains of students and
enlarges their capacity to think and reason.
A student who has successfully passed through
the university education can conveniently form
opinions and develop ideas on issues not
connected to what he/she has studied simply
because while going through his/her course of
study in the university, he/she has achieved
mental alertness and sharpness of the mindAugust 29,

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
CAREER & COURSES
It is this factor that makes it possible for someone
who read Physics to end up as a banker and
perform the banking job efficiently.
This leads us to a very serious issue of the
relationship between one’s career and one’s
course of study.
The question is often asked whether it is
compulsory for one to end up with what one
studied in school.
The answer is no, it is not compulsory, as many people
make adjustments and shift their acquired knowledge to
their interest and make choices
