“I know some of you would wonder why you should be grateful to the university since you are qualified and your effort brought you here. The truth is that the university is creating more space for those who are qualified.
“For example, only 8,591 students could be admitted last academic session but we have increased the space so that additional thousands were added above the number we admitted last session. As the saying goes, many are called but few are chosen.
“My dear students, let me tell you that you are fortunate and pray that fortune will continue to come your. Over 114,000 students applied to this university, rated the best in Nigeria, 20th in Africa and one of the best in the world. That you are here today means that you have succeeded where over 100,000 thousand applicants to this university have failed.”
