Edo University Iyamoh to Award Honorary Degrees to Oshiomhole, Agenmomen at 6th Convocation

The upcoming 6th convocation ceremony at Edo University Iyamoh will honor two distinguished Edo sons—Adams Oshiomhole, former governor of Edo State and current senator representing Edo North, and Vincent Agenmomen, Chairman of the Freedom Group in Nigeria—with honorary degrees for their notable contributions to the state and national development.

At a recent news conference, Acting Vice Chancellor Prof. Dawood Egbefo praised the state government’s initiative to install optic fibre cable broadband across the university’s campuses, which he believes will enhance educational delivery and mitigate educational tourism in Edo State.

“The internet services will help the university provide world-class education,” Egbefo emphasized.

The convocation, scheduled for February 27, will see 430 students graduate, with 14 achieving first class degrees.

“Since inception, the university has consistently operated a stable academic calendar ensuring that students graduate on schedule,” noted Prof. Egbefo.

In addition to the undergraduate degrees, 140 postgraduate students will also be recognized, among them 20 candidates who will receive the prestigious Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in various fields. This ceremony promises to celebrate the academic prowess and achievements of the institution since its establishment.
