The Chancellor, Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, Dr David Oyedepo, has advised newly admitted students to be disciplined and use their time wisely, in the course of their studies.
Oyedepo spoke on Friday, during the 22nd matriculation ceremony of the institution.
The exercise was for the 2023/2024 academic session. Oyedepo noted that such a positive attitude helps in achieving set goals.
In all, a total of 2,351 students, comprising 2,153 undergraduate and 198 postgraduate students were matriculated for the new academic session.
Oyedepo restated that the pain of discipline might be costly, but the end result is priceless.
“No one will ever be any more accomplished in his pursuit than when he is disciplined.
“Anyone that will not take responsibility early will end-up a liability,” he said.
According to him, everyone is absolutely responsible for the outcome of his or her life.
Oyedepo enjoined them to use their time productively and not to hang around people that do not share their sense of mission.
In his welcome address, Prof. Abiodun Adebayo, Vice-Chancellor of the institution, said that the university’s unique vision was to raise a new generation of leaders in all fields of human endeavour, who would redeem the battered image of the black man.
