She further highlighted the University’s rigorous standards, noting that students must maintain a 75% attendance rate and uphold integrity, with a zero-tolerance policy for examination malpractice.
In the same vein, the University’s founder, Engr. Dr. Johnson Adewumi, commended Hon. Mudashiru’s commitment to youth empowerment, encouraging the students to “aim higher” and make the most of this opportunity. “You can surpass my achievements, but it requires hard work and dedication,” he advised, noting that the University would supplement the scholarship fund by over 10% and provide weekend job opportunities to help students gain practical experience and earn stipends.
