Published By: Paul Dada By Jethro Ibileke The Vice Chancellor of Igbinedion University, Okada, Prof. Lawrence Ezemonye, has advised newly admitted students of the institution to devote their talents to only ideas that contribute to service of God and humanity. Ezemonye stated this on Monday during his opening remarks at the orientation programme of the 2024/2025 fresh students of the institution. He urged them to pay special attention on how they utilize their time on the campus, even as he reminded them that their past does not define their future. “I urge you to devote your talents and treasures only to ideas that contribute to the service of God and humanity. “You may have been entangled with thoughts of navigating a new terrain with old compasses. “I want to remind you that your past does not define your future. New skills, new fools will be acquired, suitable for perfect berting of the ship at the harbour. “Here in IUO, you will author your own storyline. In this way, you will also sharpen IUO history on the long run, along our changing narrative. The Vice Chancellor urged the new students to engage only in fruitful conversations, even as they let civility and dignity guide their dialogues and interrogations in the host communities and as they treat one another with mutual respect. “Be rest assured that you are in for a formidable learning experience predicated on digital literacy, creativity and innovation. “Our Curriculum is alive, entrepreneurially active, digitally compliant, and built for future-ready workplace. Our cultural doctrine express diversity in oneness. “You have all that it takes to meet your destiny at the point of success and fulfilment,” he counseled.
