Governor Sanwo-Olu will deliver the 36th convocation lecture of Yaba College of Technology on Tuesday, November 19, 2024.
Why it matters: The Governor comments at the event should be closely watched. Yabatech recently increased its tuition fee, sparking fears of a student-led protest. It is also possible that the Governor will avoid the event altogether or be represented by an aide.
Go deeper: Sanwo-Olu’s lecture is titled “Developing Exportable Alternatives for Nigeria’s Economic Recovery,” according to a Yabatech statement, Punch newspaper reported. The statement added that Vice President Kashim Shettima will chair the occasion.
Quote: “To provide you with more specific details, 316 students are graduating with distinction, 2,381 students have earned upper credit division; 3,939 are graduating with lower credit, and 1,503 students will be receiving their diplomas with a passing grade,” the Yabatech statement said.
