Newly admitted students of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, were this morning taken through rituals of orientation, aimed at exposing them to rules and regulations of the University.
The exercise which started at exactly 9 am, lasted for hours and will continue tomorrow at the University’s Great Hall. The essence of the orientation programme, which usually precedes Matriculation ceremonies in LAUTECH, is to ensure that newly admitted members of the University community are guided against running foul of the laws, that could cut short their stay on any Campus of the Institution.
Speakers during the first day of the training programme, for which lecture free days were declared, included the University Registrar, Dr. Kayode Ogunleye; Chairman, Committee of Provosts and Deans, Professor Tunde Ogunkunle; who represented the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Razaq Olatunde Rom Kalilu.
Other dignitaries at the occasion included representative of the Bursar, Dean of Students Affairs, University Chairperson, Orientation Committee, Director LAUTECH Information and Communication Technology Centre, Professor Stephen Olatunde Olabiyisi, among others.
