Dominion University, Ibadan, on Saturday, produced 24 first-class graduates and 106 others who graduated with various academic distinctions during the university’s third convocation ceremony. In his address at the event, which was held on the school premises located at Km 24, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Oyo State, the Chancellor of the University, Bishop Taiwo Adelakun, said: “We believe in our graduates, that they will soar no matter the challenges in the nation. They will make a difference by the grace of God.My advice to the graduating set today is to be strong, visionary, and proactive; not to remain still, but to trust God as they embark on the journey of life. The eagle loves the wind, while other birds run away from it; the eagle sees the wind as an opportunity to soar higher. I believe that as they face challenges, with what we have invested in them spiritually, they will be able to overcome such challenges.” Speaking on what distinguishes Dominion University graduates from their peers, Bishop Adelakun added: “Apart from being trained academically, our students are also moulded spiritually — and that is the unique advantage of graduates from Dominion University.” In his charge to the graduates, the Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Professor Abel Olorunnisola, said: “As you leave the university and move on to diverse vocations and callings in life, I would like to leave you with a charge , to dare to be different in whatever you choose to do henceforth.To dare to be different is a call to be courageously distinct; to be bold in your difference. It is a call to rise above the ordinary in this world.” The highlight of the event was the presentation of prizes to graduates who distinguished themselves academically. NIGERIAN TRIBUNE
