The University of Lagos (UNILAG) Vice Chancellor, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe claimed that his institution will hold its 50th convocation ceremonies for the 2016/2017 academic session on Feb. 19.
He disclosed this while addressing newsmen on Tuesday in Lagos.
He said the convocation would last for 4 days and would end on Feb. 22, he claimed that it would be different from all the past convocation that the school has been holding.
“This time, we will make a few changes and introduce a few items to make the ceremonies lively and memorable.
“For instance, the convocation venue will move from the usual multi-purpose hall known as Jelili Omotola Hall to the main auditorium known as Ade Ajayi Hall.
“But we will soon come up with a line-up of events to kick-start the convocation.
“The events normally begin with a convocation media briefing, followed by the convocation lecture, among others,’’ the vice-chancellor said.
Ogundipe explained that the university management would also ensure a rebranding of the institution, especially in the area of research, innovation, incubation and entrepreneurship.
