Babcock VC reiterates commitment to producing employable graduates

The Vice-Chancellor of Babcock University, Ilishan Remo, Prof Ademola Tayo, has reiterated the commitment of the university to producing graduates who are not only socially and academically sound, but are also equipped with hands-on skills to navigate life after school and build a successful career for themselves.

Tayo, in a statement on Wednesday, disclosed this while kicking off the annual Graduating Class Week for over 3,000 final year students of the university, whose graduation comes up in June.

The Vice-Chancellor described the annual programme as a time when experts, professionals, future employers are brought to the school to have an interface with the graduating students, offering them priceless insight out of their very rich experience and building on what the university had taught the students to make a successful venture out of their life after school

Tayo said, “This yearly programme is a testament to the university’s unwavering commitment to prepare the graduating students to meet the outside world’s demands. It is to get you well prepared and to navigate the career opportunities.”

He urged the graduating students not to undermine this opportunity, for which people who graduated 40 years ago, like him, never had.

The VC said, “After the final examination, back then every student would leave the school without this kind of experience, but in Babcock University, we don’t only train them to be academically and socially sound, we also get them ready to navigate their ways through future careers.”
