Hard work, dedication, discipline, and commitment are the paths to success, the Vice Chancellor (VC), MountainTop University, Prof. Ayolabi Elijah, has said.
He spoke at the seventh matriculation for 2021/2022 academic session of the institution in Ogun State.
The VC advised the freshers to abide by the rules of the institution and participate in its activities.
He said: “As fresh students, it is expected that you abide by all the rules and regulations of this institution and participate in all activities. You must be fully committed to your studies and justify your selection out of the thousands who wanted to come and study in this noble institution. We take it as a responsibility to ensure that our students conform to the principles and doctrines of good behaviour modelled after Christian values.
“We therefore, seek the co-operation of parents to mould the students because the upkeep and training of a child should be a collective effort.
“We have zero-tolerance for immorality and indiscipline. When we train these children, we are building a society and a future that we can all be proud of. We are all committed to the same purpose – to
enthrone a culture of academic excellence and inculcate the right values in our graduates so that they will be good ambassadors of this university.”
Elijah said, though Mountain Top University was less than 10 years old, it had been ranked the Best among Private Universities, the Sixth Best Private University and among the Best 11 Universities in Nigeria.
The VC announced the take-off of the university’s School of Postgraduate Studies and its Centre for Continuing Education (CCE), which offers Diploma and Certificate courses.
Elijah said the university’s programmes were accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
He praised the founder /Chancellor, Dr Daniel Olukoya and his wife, Folashade, for their contributions to the institution.
