The National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday said that Nigeria cannot expect to reap the fruit of good education if it fails to invest in the education of her youths.

Udeme Emmamel Daren Enonte of Computer Science Department emerged the best graduating student.

According to Asiwaju, “Nigeria cannot expect to reap the fruit of good education if it fails to invest in the education of her youths.

“The resultant effects have been the graduation of unemployable graduates. These have impacted negatively on their contribution to national growth and development.”

The university said it would offer 100 per cent education scholarship to all first class students as well as best graduating students of all departments of the institution.

The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Huseyin Sert, said that the university decided to recognize Asiwaju Tinubu and Dr. Dick, because of their contributions to mankind development and the society.

He charged graduands to go and contribute to the development of global economy.

Also, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, assured the gathering that the National Assembly would continue to make laws that will bring huge investments to the sector. He was represented by the Chairman, House Committee on Education Amin Suleiman.
