Obafemi Awolowo University's Convocation Update

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Bamitale Omole, at a pre-convocation briefing yesterday said 45 students bagged First Class, 1,241 Second Class Upper Division, 2,717 Second Class Lower, 818 Third Class and 64 Pass.
Omole said the university could not give automatic jobs to the First Class graduating students because of the economic down turn, which he said had affected the university’s finances.
He said the Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Rev Matthew Hassan Kukah, would deliver the 41st convocation lecture on Friday on the theme: “The Pursuit of Happiness: Some Thoughts on Human Rights, Freedom and Justice in Nigeria”.
Speaking on achievements of the university lately, Omole said the institution received a $1.12 million grant from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada, to advance research on indigenous vegetables.
