Students were reminded of the importance of hard work by Fuwape, who pointed out that the time between matriculation and convocation is not particularly long.
“It is critical to put forth significant effort in order to complete the voyage effectively. I strongly encourage you to take advantage of the numerous resources and facilities available to you at the institution in order to realize your admirable goal.
As I challenge you, I encourage you to prepare yourself for success by creating your own reality, and remaining devoted to your dream. “Position yourself for excellence; your success is certain if you work hard and remain focused,” he emphasized.
‘One of the most important things in the university is that you complete your work on time,’ he reminded the students. ‘When it comes to delivering on assigned work and projects, don’t procrastinate or waste time,’ he cautioned the students.
Throughout your time at the institution, you will be provided with an environment that is conducive to studying. I therefore encourage you to put out the necessary effort in your studies and to take advantage of the numerous learning opportunities available on campus.”
