few changes will be introduced and a few items to make the ceremonies lively and memorable.

“For instance, the convocation venue will move from the usual multi-purpose hall known as Jelili Omotola Hall to the main auditorium known as Ade Ajayi Hall.

“The events will begin with a convocation media briefing, followed by the convocation lecture, among others,’’ the vice-chancellor said.
