The Provost of Iseyin College of Science and Health Technology, Professor Oluwasogo Olalubi, has urged newly admitted students to dedicate their time to the institution and beyond, serving humanity and making meaningful contributions to societal development.
He made the call on Thursday at the 2025 matriculation ceremony of the College at Ajelanwa Village, Iseyin, Oyo State, urging the new students to remain curious and focus on their academic endeavours to become architects of Nigeria’s future. The event featured the swearing of an oath by 1,300 students, of whom 1,000 were admitted to study courses in Health Technology, while 300 were admitted to study education courses.
In remarks at the event, Prof. Oluwasogo Olalubi of the Department of Public Health, Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, Kwara State University, Malete, said, “You are not here merely as passers-by but to fulfil the threshold of destiny; today marks more than your formal admission, it is the beginning of a life-changing journey. In choosing the education and or health sciences, you have answered a higher calling to serve humanity, to promote well-being and to uphold the dignity of life.
He stated, “You have been called into a sacred order – not only to chase certificates but to transform society through the deployment of integrity, skills, expertise, cutting-edge technology and innovations. Ideally, today is not the beginning of school; it is the beginning of your significance and relevance within the community.” He also acknowledged the sustained mutual relationship between the institution and the host community, urging the people of Iseyin to continue supporting the college’s progress. In attendance at the event were representatives of traditional rulers, youth organisations, and religious leaders, among others.
