Speaking on Saturday during the fourth convocation ceremony of Skyline University of Nigeria (SUN) in Kano,
Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II, who also serves as Chancellor of the university, charged the graduating students to uphold integrity, innovation, and service. He emphasised that the true value of education lies not in certificates but in the positive impact graduates make in society.
He said, “Knowledge without action is like a lamp without oil—bright in theory but powerless in the dark”.
Sanusi praised the university’s progress and expressed delight at the high number of female graduates, saying he hopes it leads to increased participation of women in governance and other sectors.
Earlier, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ajith Kumar V.V., announced that 24 of the 180 graduating students earned First Class degrees.
He added that: “A total of 180 Bachelor’s degrees and 43 Higher Degrees have been conferred at this year’s graduation ceremony, having been found worthy in character and learning. Twenty-four made First Class, 79 graduated with Second Class Upper Division, and 77 with Second Class Lower Division.”
Kumar noted that the convocation marked a milestone for SUN, as it was the first time the institution was awarding postgraduate degrees.
He also confirmed that all academic programmes offered by the university have recently been accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
