AbdulAzeez and the Chairman of University of Ibadan Muslim Graduates Association (UIMGA) Scholarship Scheme ,Alhaji Abdullah Wale Adelakun, urged students to be disciplined and good ambassadors of Islam.

Aboaba emphasised the need for them to develop entrepreneurial skills to survive, rather than hoping for a white collar job after graduation. 

The association’s National President offered prayers for all donors and members of the association at home and in the Diaspora. He urged the students to pay back into the society by ensuring active participation in the association’s activities after graduation.
