No fewer than 526 newly admitted students of the Federal University of Health Sciences, Ila-Orangun, Osun State, held their matriculation ceremony on Tuesday with an appeal from the pioneer Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Akeem Lasisi, that they should make a meaningful impact during their academic journey. The Vice-Chancellor also highlighted that out of the 7,421 candidates who applied to the university, only 526 were admitted. During his lecture, Prof. Oluwole Atoyebi urged the matriculated students to take their studies seriously and focus on their academics. He reminded them that they were admitted to the university as science students with a strong background in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. “These skills need to be further developed because, in secondary school, you complete the majority of your studying and assignments in class,” he said.
