Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech) will at its 36th convocation ceremony confer the institution’s prestigious fellowship award on the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas.
The institution’s Rector, Dr. Ibraheem Abdul, announced this while addressing reporters at the pre-convocation media briefing yesterday in Lagos.
The rector said the institution’s achievements in public service were reflected in its values of dedication, integrity, and excellence, which are needed to inspire its students.
He said the college was proud to have the two distinguished personalities in its family.
Dr. Abdul said Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu will deliver this year’s convocation lecture, titled: Developing Exportable Alternatives for Nigeria’s Economic Recovery, while Vice President Kashim Shettima will chair the occasion.
The rector said through the convocation lecture, Sanwo-Olu will bring his experience about the most prosperous state in Nigeria to bear on the topic.
Commenting on the convocation highlights, the rector said 8,139 students, who have demonstrated diligence and commitment to their studies, will graduate from the school.
He added that the college will kick off the ceremonies with a special Jumat service, which will be followed by an interdenominational church service on Sunday at the Yusuf Grillo Art Auditorium within the college.
