Over 400 newly admitted students of Venite University, Iloro Ekiti, were formally admitted into the institution during its third matriculation ceremony for the 2026 academic session.

The ceremony, held on Thursday at the university’s main campus in Iloro Ekiti, brought together members of the Governing Council, management staff, parents, guardians, and well-wishers who gathered to witness the induction of the fresh students into the academic community.

Speaking at the event, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Charity Aremu, urged the students to remain focused on their academic pursuits and avoid activities capable of tarnishing the institution’s image, particularly cultism and other social vices.

Aremu also highlighted the progress recorded by the university within a short period, noting that the institution was committed to attaining global recognition through quality teaching, innovation, and character development.

“Our main goal at Venite University is to attain global recognition within the shortest possible time. We are training individuals who will create jobs rather than become job seekers after graduation,” she said.

The event also featured the investiture of Aremu as the second substantive Vice-Chancellor of the institution.

Administering the matriculation oath, the Pro-Chancellor, Professor Olabisi Aina, advised the students to uphold discipline in both character and learning in order to achieve academic excellence.

He assured them that the institution had provided a conducive learning environment supported by experienced lecturers, urging them to take full advantage of the opportunities available to prepare themselves for leadership and professional success.

“I urge you to remain focused on your academic pursuits and take advantage of the university’s learning environment and opportunities designed to prepare you for leadership and professional success,” he said.

The matriculating students subsequently took the oath of allegiance, pledging to abide by the university’s rules and regulations while upholding the values of discipline, integrity, and academic excellence.

Following her formal decoration by the Pro-Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor reiterated the university’s commitment to providing high-quality education, promoting innovative research, and building strong moral character in students.

She added that the institution remained dedicated to producing future leaders capable of making meaningful contributions to national development.
