The convocation will also witness the commissioning of seven major projects, notably the iconic Senate Building built under TETFund’s High Impact Intervention, the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology, a twin 500-seat lecture theatre, another 500-capacity hall, new entrepreneurship equipment, and additional lecture theatres at Okuku and Ifetedo campuses.
Activities lined up include induction ceremonies for graduates in professional fields, Alumni Day, a Jumat Service, a convocation play and a thanksgiving service.
On Tuesday, September 23, the Executive Secretary of TETFund, Arc. Sonny Echono, will deliver the convocation lecture titled “Digital Transformation in Higher Education: Building Skills in Graduates for Global Competitiveness.”
