“My days in school have assisted me to understand that problems can be solved by joining hands as a people. I appreciate our parents and our lecturers for their support both financially and morally,” he said.

In a related development, two students from the English Language Department of the institution, Eyisi Chioma and Joshua Idaraobong, came out with first class honours.

In his message at the event, the Chancellor of Covenant University, Dr David Oyedepo, said that quality education remained the major veritable tool to build any nation.

The 10th convocation ceremony also featured the conferment of honorary doctorate degrees and presentation of prizes to deserving individuals and students of the school.
