A total of 316 students are to graduate with distinction as the Yaba College of Technology, YABATECH, holds its 36th convocation ceremony during which 8,139 students will bag diploma and certificates in various courses.
Disclosing this on Thursday during a pre-convocation press briefing, the Rector, Dr Ibraheem Abdul, said 2,381 others are graduating with Upper Credit pass, 3,739 bagging Lower Credit pass and 1,503 graduating at Pass level.
Abdul also said the Fellowship of the College would be conferred on the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abass and the wife of the President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
“Also, as part of the activities lined up for the ceremony, a convocation lecture will be delivered by the Lagos State Governor, His Excellency, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu. It is titled “Developing exportable alternatives for Nigeria’s economic recovery.” The occasion is to be chaired by the Vice President, His Excellency, Senator Kasim Shetimma.
