Adebayo gave the advice at the 11th Matriculation of the institution in Sango Ota, Ogun.
The
don urged the new students to be serious in order to face the rigors of
academic life, adding that life in the University was different from
life outside the world.
"Students should desist
from spending much times on social media devices like chatting, and
concentrate more on their studies in order to meet competitive global
market,'' he warned.
He implored matriculating
students and under-graduates to empower themselves by acquiring
additional skills and professional certificates to boost their future
careers.
"Parents should advise their children to
be of good behaviour and prepare to go the extra mile by ensuring that
their wards key into various professional certificates available within
and outside the university.
He told the students
to take advantage of the accredited centre named ATLAS on the campus,
which prepared students for professional examinations in Accounting and
Personnel Management.
Adeyemi said the
institution's skill development and resource centre would soon commence
short-term skill acquisition training in various vocations for students
of the institution.
According to him, this will
prepare them for the highly competitive market as well as laying the
foundation for a future as employers of labour.
He,
however, lamented that low enrolment of students was one of the major
challenges confronting private universities in Nigeria.
The
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a total of 449 students were
admitted for the 2015/2016 academics session, including 427
undergraduate students and postgraduate students in four faculties.
The
faculties were College of National and Applied Sciences, College of
Management of Sciences, College of Engineering and College of
Environmental Sciences.
