The Vice-Chancellor, Adebayo Adeyemi, made this known at the 5th convocation and the conferment of honorary doctorate degrees, and presentation of prizes in Ota.
A total of 208 graduating students participated in the ceremony.
They comprised 14 students bagging first class honours, 64 being in second upper division, 83 second class lower division, 43 in third class, and four receiving ordinary pass.
Mr. Adeyemi urged all the graduating students to have belief in their abilities that they could make it in life in spite of the existing situation in the country. He emphasised the need for them to be patriotic in their bid to move the nation forward.
“I also wish to inform you all that the postgraduate degree programmes (PGD) and postgraduate diploma programmes had been approved by National Universities Commission.
“The approval of these courses will give room for the institution to carry out numerous researches that will lead to development of both human capital and the nation,” he said.
Mr. Adeyemi said that the approved PGD courses included M.Sc in Biochemistry, Industrial Chemistry, Computer Science, and Information Science.
He said the diploma courses were to be offered in microbiology and applied physics.
He said that eight students had since registered for their masters’ degree programmes in the institution.
Mr. Adeyemi announced that a philanthropist, Emmanuel Edizien, had donated a 500-seater theatre to the institution, saying the hall would be properly put to use.

Congratulation to the students. Eureka! Eureka! I have been looking for school to send my son where he will get first class. Now I have found it. What I need for my son is 1st class; at least the impediments in the Nigerian job market will be less.
