The Chancellor of Covenant University,
Ota, Ogun, Dr David Oyedepo, said on Monday that
the institution would be among the top 10
universities in the world by 2022. Oyedepo made the remark at the institution’s
11th Founder’s Day celebration in Ota. According to him, the university has since
inception in 2002, focused on actualising its
mandate, which is primarily to raise leaders who
will change the world.
Oyedepo said that already, the university had
surpassed set standards but was not relenting till
it achieved its desired 2022 dream, tagged: Vision
10: 2022, (1 of 10 in 10). “It is in view of this that we are launching our
new vision and, therefore want to charge the
faculty managements to invest maximally in the
review of our curriculum. “We must strive to review pragmatically, the
contents of our curriculum by bringing it into the
realities of the day. “Let us not be afraid of trying out new things in
new ways because unless this is done, you cannot
move forward. “We must strive to have the creative mind of
Christ to review our curriculum in order to truly
meet the needs of the society,” he said. The Chancellor said that empowering the people
intellectually and practicalising it through
inventions and discoveries was key in taking
universities to higher levels. He charged the students to be excellent
performers, especially in the area of self-
discipline, as it was a major tool in becoming
great leaders. The chancellor later inaugurated projects in the
institution, among which was the vision 10:2022
(1 of 10 in 10) billboard. He also inaugurated the glass blowing laboratory
at the chemistry department of the institution as
part of activities lined up for the celebration. The laboratory is meant for fabricating, moulding
and re-moulding of glass. The Head of Department of Chemistry, Dr Kolawale
Ajanaku, said that the laboratory would enable
students to turn waste to wealth by picking up
broken glasses and putting them into use. He said that the laboratory would not serve the
students alone but would be open to members of
the public for training. Covenant University, which was established on
Oct. 21, 2002, has graduated more than 10, 000
students. (NAN)
