The Vice Chancellor of Ekiti state University (EKSU), Ado Ekiti, Professor Edward Olanipekun has explained the reason why the university will now hold two twice in a year.
The Vice Chancellor disclosed this during the recent 27th convocation of the university held on campus of the university, in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital.
According to Olanipekun, “Law Graduates cannot go to law school without their certificates, the medical doctors cannot obtain their licenses to practice their professions without certificates
“And there are points in time when numbers of people would want to use their certificates for one thing or the other immediately after graduation.
“Apart from this, it is not a new thing, in some universities in Europe, convocation holds throughout the year, done every month, graduands would just fix a date that would be convenient for them and go for it.
“Gone are the days when years after graduation, our Alumni would begin to run helter skelter without their certificates, we have now put in place mechanism that will ensure that every obstacle that can cause delay in issuance of certificates immediately after graduation are addressed and we are already achieving it.
“So I want to assure the chairman of council, Prof. Akin Oyebode that the university management will do the needful to facilitate the process for successful convocations twice a year and ensure that their certificates henceforth are released as at when due without hindrance”. Prof. Olanipekun added.
