The University of Lagos (UNILAG) will begin its 50th convocation ceremonies for the 2016/2017 academic session on February 19.
Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on the sidelines of the yearly interaction with reporters in Lagos.
He said the four-day convocation activities, which would end on February 22, would be slightly adjusted and different from those of the past.
Ogundipe said: “This time, we will make a few changes and introduce a few items to make the ceremonies lively and memorable.
“For instance, the convocation venue will move from the usual multi-purpose hall, known as Jelili Omotola Hall, to the main auditorium, known as Ade Ajayi Hall.
“But we will soon come up with a line-up of events to kick-start the convocation.
“The events normally begin with a convocation media briefing, followed by the convocation lecture, among others.”
He added that the university management would also ensure a rebranding of the institution, especially in the area of research, innovation, incubation and entrepreneurship.
