The vice chancellor of the University, Prof. Chinedum Peace Babalola who congratulated the twenty-seven graduates who are being awarded with bachelor degrees and professional certificates in entrepreneurship, said the lecture would further open the graduands’ eyes to opportunities to be self-employed.
