Addressing the matriculants at the ceremony, Prof Adedimeji admonished them to work hard to acquire quality education of international standard which the university is poised to offer.
“Dear students, to achieve your purpose of attaining quality education in Ahman Pategi University, always remember that you must persist and resist. What must you persist on?
“You must persist on reading, studying, devoting time and committing energy to the pursuit of excellence. You must persist on ensuring that you attend your lectures, do your assignments, engage in class discussions, obey rules and regulations and keep your eyes on the ball of your primary assignment in the university. If you are persistent, you will be excellent. As the Arabs say, ‘Man jadda wajada,’ meaning whoever strives achieves (his goal).”
