He implored the inductees to make good use of the opportunity of getting educated as there are people who do not have such opportunities.


"Focus on what you have come to do in OAU, don't let frivolities take over your time," he urged.


In his remarks, the Head of Department, Professor Fabunmi, who was also awarded, noted that any student who wants to graduate well will put in a great effort from the first year.

“To the best of my knowledge and people's remarks, I think this Induction is the best so far,” he added.



In the same development, the president of the department, Ojetola Ridwan said, “ The induction ceremony has been an avenue for lecturers to pray for the students and also, emphasize how languages and cultures are interrelated. It has been the practice of the department for a long time."


“Through the induction, students discover their talents. We have some students in part 4 now who discovered their talents when they had their induction,” He affirmed.


According to Semilore Adesite, one of the inductees, “ The induction ceremony was a very interesting program and an eye-opener to the understanding of our cultural heritage. The teamwork of everyone produced an interesting and eye-catching event for everyone and even the guests.”
