A total of 118 graduating students
of the University of Benin have bagged first class honors degree at the
institution.
This was disclosed on Tuesday by the
institution’s outgoing Vice Chancellor, Prof. Osayuki Oshodin, at a
pre-convocation press conference.
Oshodin, who will bow out as UNIBEN
vice chancellor on November 30, said the figures comprised graduates from two
academic sessions.
He explained that last year’s
convocation of the university did not take place because of the university
lecturers’ strike.
The vice chancellor said 19,472
graduating students from both sessions would be awarded various diplomas and
degrees.
He stated that Chairman of the
United Bank for Africa, Tony Elumelu, Senator Daisy Ehanire Danjuma, Rev.
Matthew Okpebholo and Chief Sam Igbe would be conferred with honourary degrees.
Oshodin said two Senior Professors of the
institution – Thomas Audu and R.O Ofoegbu would be conferred with the title of
Professor Emeritus.
