He said the institution was three years and looking forward to producing its first set of graduates.

“This is the third matriculation ceromony of Edo University and we are looking forward to producing our first set of graduates.

“My dear matriculants, you are celebrated for being the lucky ones that were offered admission. I congratulate you for being the third set of students to take matriculation oath,”Aluyor said.

Aluyor said that the institution had signed a Memoradum of Understanding (MoU) with two foreign schools, Worcester University, the United States and Sunderland University, Britain for exchange programme for its students.
