It was also disclosed that Honorary Doctor of Science (DSc Honoris Causa) degrees will be conferred on the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Ogun State governor, Prince (Dr) Dapo Abiodun, and a former Ogun State governor, Aremo Olusegun Osoba.

Briefing journalists on Friday at the university campus, the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adekunle Olanrewaju Adeogun, said that the graduating set includes 269 part-time students and 88 graduates from the Nigerian Army College of Education (NACOE).

“We are grateful for the mighty things God is doing in our university through our dedicated workforce, with the support of the Governing Council, TETFund, and the Ogun State Government,” he said.
