鈥淲ithout undermining the efforts of you my fellow graduands, I will say this is a result of God鈥檚 grace, hardwork, and resilience鈥�, Mr. Atanranshe said while giving his speech.
On behalf of the graduating set, he showered encomiums on all the stakeholders that made their graduation a reality, ranging from their parents to the Management of the university. He expressed earnest gratitude for the privilege to become 鈥淕reat Akokites鈥�.
