Yemi Osinbajo, Nigeria's
Vice-President has called on Nigerian youths to utilise the productive
period of their lives, noting that while time waits for no one,
obtaining a degree certificate does not always translate to success in
life.
According to Punch Metro, Osinbajo spoke at the 10th convocation
of the Lead City University, Ibadan where 590 students were awarded
first degree certificates in various disciplines on Thursday.
Among them, 39 students graduated in the first class category.
Miss Mary Olukorede was adjudged the best graduating female while
Amedu Anthony was announced as the best graduating male student.
At the event, the Chairman of Benin Electricity Distribution
Company, Victor Osibodu, and the Chairman of Musoro Booksellers, Kolade
Musoro, were also honoured with doctorate degrees.
Osinbajo, who was the special guest at the ceremony, said, “I
was 60 years old in March this year, and I must confess that one of the
greatest surprises I ever experienced was that I just suddenly became
60. I can clearly remember when I graduated from the university. I was
21 years old at the time. How time flies.
“One of the important lessons that you will learn is that time
flies whether you are wasting it or you are using it well. It simply
flies back. At the age of 60 years, I am entitled to give some advice.
“By talent, a good degree and coming from a very well-to-do
family does not bring success and certainly it does not bring greatness.
The most talented people, those who get the best degrees do not
necessarily become the most successful in life.
“The difference between success and failure, mediocrity or
excellence is character. Along with character is opportunity, perhaps
the most crucial is the grace of God. Character is a set of values that
shapes the conduct of an individual. It is a set of principles spoken
and unspoken that a person observes and lives on.”
In his address, the Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, who
accompanied the Vice-President, said he was optimistic that the LCU
would one day be ranked among the top 10 universities in Nigeria.
