The Vice-Chancellor of Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, Prof. Joseph Ayodele, has urged students in the institution to give priority to their academic work as “Faith without work is dead”.
Ayodele stated this in Ado Ekiti on Monday during the matriculation ceremony for the newly admitted candidates into the Sandwich Degree programme of the University for the 2024 Contact Session.
The VC also urged the student to always strive for excellence in their academic pursuits.
He encouraged the students of the Sandwich degree programme to interact with their counterparts on the main campus and also enjoy the facilities available.
Ayodele stressed that students who go through the Sandwich programme are not inferior to those in the regular programme.
He further advised the students to shun all unethical acts that can affect them negatively or tarnish the good image of the school.
“The matriculation ceremony is the official commencement of students’ academic voyage in university,” he stated.
