Three abducted Chibok girls who escaped from Boko Haram captivity and enrolled at the American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola, have graduated from the university along with 186 others.
The 189 graduates bagged their first degrees in various disciplines during the university’s convocation ceremony on Saturday.
In his remark on the occasion of the 15th convocation ceremony of the AUN at its main campus in Yola, the President (vice chancellor) of the University, Dwayne Frazier, charged the new graduates to uphold the tenets of the institution.
He said the AUN is a developing university that prepares students on how to face new challenges.
“I have no doubt that you will excel because you have all shown resilience, determination, and commitment. These qualities will propagate you for the best even as you contribute to the development of the country,” he added.
In his message, the guest speaker, Prof. Mike Ozekhome, asserted that the AUN has proven that it can impact the world positively.
Ozekhome said: “With the entrepreneurship lectures and training you have received here at AUN, you can create jobs for yourselves.”
The 2023/2024 session of the AUN for whom the commencement (convocation) was held yesterday, had eight graduands awarded PhD and 10 with MSc, in addition to the 189 awarded first degrees.
