Anchor University, Ayobo, Lagos is set to graduate two academic sets of 2021 and 2022 at a convocation ceremony slated for the school premises on December 8 and 9.

To mark the forthcoming second ceremony, Anchor University management has lined up a series of events.

Salami stated that the three-day ceremony will kick-start with a media briefing on December 6, while the convocation lecture titled: ‘Building A Culture of Entrepreneurship As The Panacea For Youth Unemployment’, is scheduled for December 8; as Chief Executive Officer, Stanel Group, Dr Stanley Uzochukwu, is billed to deliver a lecture at the occasion.

He said: “A novelty match between Anchor University and The Bell university, Inter-Faculty Debate, Luncheon/Variety night for the graduands are all on the card. But the climax of the programme is the convocation ceremony scheduled for Friday, December 9.”

Salami reiterated that this year’s convocation ceremony was carefully packaged to showcase everything about the school and the graduands in particular. “That is why I dubbed it a celebration of excellency.”

The Anchor University Vice-chancellor, Prof. Samuel Bandele, is optimistic that the second convocation ceremony would be a huge success even as he expressed delight that the presence of the Chancellor, Pastor (Dr.) Williams Folorunsho Kumuyi will definitely add value and light up the epoch-making event.
