According to a statement obtained by Tribune Online through the institution’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mr Lekan Fadeyi, “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.”
The statement quoted Kalilu to have assured the newly admitted students to explore the conducive ambience of the university and qualitative educational facilities for individual advancement.
It reads: “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.”
