He said, this qualification should lead the students to progressively achieved their dreams and go for further higher qualifications.
“For many of you this may be the first formal qualification you will now possess but this should now lead you to progressively achieving further higher qualification while others of you will now go on to seek employment or start your own ventures.
“I would like some of you to think about furthering your academic career and not be satisfied with that you received today (Yesterday), you can progress your tertiary education through our very own university,” he said.
Dr Galo on behalf of the university congratulated the graduating students for their achievement.
“On behalf of the university fraternity, I wish to convey our most sincere congratulations to the 2015 graduating students.

The Vice Chancellor thanked those that supported the graduating students through the course of their studies especially their sponsors and their immediate relatives and families.
“Finally, I wish to most sincerely thank the hard working staff of the university, who contributed to your training, they are proud of you, he said.
“We wish you a very successful career in whatever you find yourself engaged in,” he concluded.
