No fewer than one hundred and eleven out of the five thousand, two hundred and ninety-seven (5,297) Federal University of Technology, Minna (FUT MINNA) students are set for its forthcoming convocation of the 2024/2025 academic session.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Faruk Adamu Kuta, who spoke at the press briefing on Monday in Minna to mark the school’s 43rd Founders’ Day and 34th convocation ceremony, dismissed claims that the institution deliberately fixed its convocation ceremony on Sunday morning when Christian faithful are supposed to be in church, saying “it collided with the Founder’s Day”.
Prof. Kuta said, a total of 4,438 graduands will be conferred with first degrees, 73 Postgraduate Diplomas, 633 Master’s Degrees and 153 Doctorate Degrees (PhD).
In total, he said “1,525 bagged second class upper division, 2,134 had second class lower division, with 631 having third class and 37 Pass degrees.”
Prof. Kuta also assured that the challenges of transportation for students and lecturers will soon be a thing of the past as the institution is already looking into partnering with organisations and individuals to build more hostels in the school.
