University of Nigeria Ambitious Goal to Digitalize the Entire
Staff and Students
Professor Benjamin Chukwuma ozumba (The
Vice-Chancellor) of the University of Nigeria,Nsukka in his address on the 45th
convocation ceremony of the school stated among others, the school’s plan
for the future.
According to him, our plans for the future are
encapsulated in a mixture of vision and mission on the hand and vaulting dreams
and reality on the other. We are engaging on strong ICT innovation designed to
make our graduates employable and in demand in the executive arena. To this
end, plans are on-going with a Chinese outfit to set up a plant for the
manufacture of Lion Laptops and other kinds of electronics. This will,
obviously, lead to the digitalization of the entire staff and students of the
University of Nigeria. The administration is examining the possibility of
finding a permanent solution to accommodation on campus. The plan is to engage
private organizations towards creating a conducive environment that will foster
research, teaching, learning, morality, and good health on our campus. And it
is important to inform you, ladies and gentlemen, that we shall continue to
improve the ranking of the University of Nigeria until we become the best in
the world!
Furthermore,
it is heart-warming to report that the present administration of the University
was given a special commendation by the National Universities Commission as the
only Federal university that gives out certificates to all granduands on
graduation day. Despite this busy schedule, we have produced graduands who have
been found worthy in character and in learning to receive the degree of this
University. In this 45th Convocation ceremony, we are graduating a
total of 13,554 candidates distributed as follows: 85 First Class
Honours; 3,040 Second Class Honours, Upper division; 7,286 Second
Class Honours, Lower Division; 2,237 Third Class Honours; and 257 pass
Degrees. In the Diploma and Certificate courses, 180 candidates
graduated, while 469 candidates obtained unclassified degrees from
faculties of Dentistry, Medical Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences and
Veterinary Medicine.
Integration
of morality and intellect are very imperative to the University of Nigeria. As a
result, we do not produce graduates who are selfish, immoral, and hypocritical,
graduates who lack even the pretence of concern about their reputations. Our graduates
are conversant with the fact that though everyone does not do the right thing,
everyone knows what it is. They recognize the absurdity of the argument that because
society is corrupt, it is better for one to be corrupt.
It
is necessary to inform you, my dear graduands, that graduates of the University
of Nigeria who work in various outfits earn the praise of their bosses and the
admiration of their colleagues because of their determination, self-reliance,
and keen eye for efficiency...
