“In addition, the management has also provided enabling environment for staff and students to exhibit their potentialities and contributed to national development,’’ he said.

The vice-chancellor reiterated the institution’s commitment to providing top range societal changers that would contribute to development of human capital in Nigeria and in the Diaspora.

Ojediran congratulated the graduates and urged them to imbibe good attitudes, discipline and make positive changes as well as strive to leave positive legacies behind wherever they went.

Former President, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Dr Kola Jamodu, who was conferred with Honorary Doctorate Degree (D.Sc. Honorius Causa), lauded the management of Bells University which is owned by Dr. Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president of the country.

He urged universities to embrace technology to install smooth learning platforms in the country.

Jamodu, also a member, Board of Trustees of Bells University, said that there was need for the country to engage in mass local manufacture of goods.
