Embrace vocational skills, Ijaiya advises students
The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) of the University of Ilorin, Prof. Nike Sidikat Ijaiya, has advised students of the institution to develop positive attitude towards vocational skills and entrepreneurship, describing it as a potent tool towards achieving self-fulfilment and self-sufficiency.
Prof. Ijaiya, who gave the advice recently while speaking at the first "Omoluabi Vocational and Entrepreneurship Programme" organised by the National Association of Osun State Students (NAOSS), Unilorin Chapter, also admonished students of the University to remain focused, dedicated and submissive to the directives of the school authority so as to become successful graduates that are worthy in learning and character.
The Deputy Vice-Chancellor urged the students to cultivate the habit of thinking outside the box and not waiting for the country to prepare, make and bake the cake of national treasury for them, saying that they should use their God-given talents to hit the ground running and break the yoke of dependency. Prof. Ijaiya applauded the leadership of NAOSS, Unilorin Chapter for its initiative and foresight, being the first Association to organise such programme for its members on campus.
In his speech, the Director, Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies, University of Ilorin, Dr Mahfouz Adedimeji, advised students to learn the proper act of applying the three Hs (Head, Heart and Hand) in Education and urged them to contribute positively towards boosting the nation's economy and their personal purse.
Also in his comment, the Director of the Technical and Entrepreneurship Centre, University of Ilorin, Dr. Umar Gunu, represented on the occasion by Dr S.O Akanbi, implored students to make use of whatever opportunity that comes their ways.
In his own remarks, the Patron of NAOSS, Prof. B. L. Adeleke, who declared the programme open, commended the Association for its brilliant performance and charged them to continue to evolve programmes that will have positive impact on the lives of its members.
Earlier in his address, the President of NAOSS, Unilorin Chapter, Comrade Olasupo Abideen Opeyemi, said that the programme was organised primarily to enlighten students on how to develop positive attitude towards vocational and entrepreneurship skills to enable them become job creators rather than job seekers after their graduation.
