The Proprietor, Caleb University, Imota in Lagos, Dr. Oladega Adebogun has urged graduating students of the institution to be the difference the world is waiting for.
Adebogun stated this at the 12th Convocation/Founder’s Day ceremony of the University on Saturday, in Imota, Lagos where honorary doctorate and postgraduate degrees and diplomas were conferred on deserving individuals.
The University had earlier on January 19th conferred Bachelor’s degrees and made a presentation of prizes to deserving graduates.
A total of 32 of the graduating students were conferred First Class degrees, of the overall 745 at the undergraduate level, with 389 others in the second class upper division.
A total of  310 were honoured with second class lower division, 14 others were admitted in the third class division, on both the first and second day of the event.
At the Higher degrees level, a total of seven bagged distinction while 194 others were honoured with Pass degrees.
This brings to 939, the entire number of graduating students at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
The overall best-graduating students at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels are Eunice Osho with a CGPA of 4.86 and Timothy Oyelowo with a CGPA of 4.90 respectively.
According to the founder and proprietor of the university, there is no replacement to sound and incorruptible education, which are the legacies the university has bequeathed to the graduating students.
He noted that all the graduating students of the institution had what it took to make the world a better place.
Adebogun charged them to hit the ground running to make it happen.
“Caleb university has successfully shaped destinies over the years, as we believe in education without corruption.
“A lot of resources, human, material, infrastructural and financial have been expended by the university, as well as parents and guardians, to produce today’s graduands who by the grace of God, will make a positive impact on our dear country, as they go out to fulfill their lofty dreams and aspirations.
“To therefore effect this much-needed change the world is waiting for, I want to urge all you graduands to be passionate over anything you set out to do.
“It is the key to all life’s endeavours. You must also have a vision, which is a picture of the future that produces passion.
“Vision without action is merely a dream. And action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world, as the bible says where there is no vision, the people perish.
“You must also have a strategy. Once you have vision, you want to know how to go about it.
“Strategy is about making choice and determining steps you are going to take to actualise your vision.
“It is about deliberately choosing to be different, maybe by adopting the blue ocean strategy, that is, carving a niche,” he said.
Adebogun urged the graduands to also have an action plan that would help them achieve their goals.
