Kolo urged the students to always remember that their actions and attitudes to learning, would determine their success in the next few years of their academic journey.
As a faith-based institution, Kolo said the institution places a strong emphasis on moral and spiritual values.
The vice-chancellor encouraged students to uphold high moral standards and actively participate in university chapel programmes designed to support their spiritual growth.
He also advised students to shun social vices, and indecent dressing, emphasising that the school has zero tolerance for misconduct.
“Please be mindful of the company you keep, focus on your studies, and always present yourself decently,” he advised.
