…as Diamond Bank Ex-MD calls for creative thinking in scholarship



Babcock University Thursday scored another milestone in postgraduate education with the robbing of 71 doctoral graduands.

A breakdown showed that Business Administration, Information Resources Management and Mass Communication departments led the pack with 15 doctoral graduands each, followed by Political Science, 12; Computer Science, six; Marketing, four while the departments of Biochemistry, Language and Literary Studies and Agriculture and Industrial Technology produced a graduand each.



Speaking at the ceremony, President/ Vice Chancellor, Professor Ademola Tayo said by this feat Babcock University is inching closer to fulfilling her vision of halting the downward trend in university education as quality leaders passionate about making positive contributions that would transform the world are raised

He said his administration would continue to aspire for excellence in academic administration by engendering strong fraternity between industries and academic departments.

According to him, the curriculum would also be rejigged to accommodate greater industry exposure in order to be “locally relevant, globally impactful and employer satisfying.”

“We will strive to increase web presence of research outputs and publication profile of the university,” he added.

He said the international office would soon be upgraded and equipped to perform optimally, linking up with the alumni to initiate aggressive recruitment drive of international postgraduate students as well as attracts experts and academics of Nigerian extraction in the Diaspora.

While congratulating the graduands, Professor Tayo reminded them of their commitment to support the institution to continue to provide the incredible educational opportunities afforded each of them.



The hooding ceremony is a precursor to the convocation ceremony of the graduands on Sunday June 4th.

In a related development, former managing director of Diamond Bank, Dr. Alex Otti has called on the universities to be dedicated to producing students that would think creatively.

Dr. Otti made the call while delivering the Postgraduate Studies Convocation lecture of the University.

In his lecture titled The Town and the Gown: Solving the Nigerian Socio-economic Issues, he said “our problem is that our education is not designed to create wealth.”

“We cannot rule our country well because we don’t have leaders who can think.”

According to him, our graduates are not equipped for the outside world due to poor preparation.

He said Nigerians ought to feel ashamed looking for solutions to every problem in the country abroad, pointing out that, “we cannot progress this way.”

He therefore called on the universities to keep government on her toes and not to be nice and withdrawn.

If the town and gown must move together, he said, approaches and governance need to be reviewed, adding that education would only be valuable if “we put to use what we learn in school.”
