The Rector of Ogun State Institute of Technology (OGITECH), Igbesa, Dr. Olufunke Akinkurolere, has urged students of the institution to develop entrepreneurial skills to give them an edge over their counterparts in other institutions.
Dr. Olufunke made the admonition while speaking at the institution’s 15th matriculation held at the Dapo Abiodun Twin Lecture Theatre Hall on Wednesday, in Ogun State.
According to her, ” This ceremony marks the official entry of newly admitted students into the institution. We have formally admitted candidates who have been tested and tried. In fact, they are fortunate to have been offered admission into this great citadel of learning.
“This institution is a place where premium is placed on academic excellence, godliness and moral values.”
She added that the institute had got approval for two new programmes in Higher National Diploma (HND), Estate Management and Valuation and National Diploma (ND) Welding and Fabrications in the accreditation exercise which held in February this year.
Akinkurolere urged the matriculants to shun misconduct and social vices, noting that the institution’s leadership would not hesitate to sanction erring students.
She said, “I implore the new intakes to show respect to their colleagues, staff (both teaching and non-teaching) in the institute to make their stay fruitful and productive.
“Also, shun all forms of deviant behaviour and other vices and remain focused,” she stated.
