On 12 December, 2019, Professor
Ayobami Ojebode of the Department of Communication and Language Arts would be
the second convocation lecture speaker from the University of Ibadan at the yearly
graduation ceremony of the Polytechnic Ibadan in 4 years.
Information from the Management of
the Polytechnic indicates that Professor of Applied Communication is expected
to dwell on the convocation lecture titled The Dream, The Challenge and the
Reality of Contemporary Nigeria for Fresh Graduates.
The Igboora born Professor
is following the footsteps of Professor Olatunbosun Ganiyu Arinola of the
Department of Chemical Pathology, University College Hospital, Ibadan, who delivered
the 30th convocation lecture titled Polytechnic Graduates and Healthcare
Delivery in Nigeria.
Lagos State University, Idi-Araba and
Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife have had lecturers invited by the Management
of the Polytechnic in the last 4 years. Professor Aderemi Tajudeen Ajekigbe Head,
Department of Radiotherapy and Oncology, Lagos University Teaching Hospital
(LUTH), delivered 31st convocation lecture titled Stepping Out into the
World; Potential Well-Being, Change in Lifestyle and Cancer Education in
2015, while Professor Adebanji Akintoye of the Obafemi Awolowo University lectured
the attendees on the
needs to explore inherent opportunities in Nigeria instead of migrating to the
developed countries, for the combined 32nd and 33rd graduation ceremony.
Checks reveal that all the previous
speakers keyed into the Polytechnic’s mission of producing graduates with
practical orientations towards the needs of the society. In her lecture during
28th convocation ceremony, Mrs. Ibukun Awosika, Chairman of First Bank Plc,
noted that professionals could provide useful guide on areas of interest if the
graduates adopt them as mentors.
