“The graduating students have been trained to stand out in their chosen fields despite the trend of mediocrity among youths. They are change-makers who are being released to be blessings and not burdens,” Adeyemo said.

He emphasised that they have been trained to be employers of labour and not job seekers, with the ability to commercialise their areas of specialisation. He added that each graduating student would receive an academic degree and entrepreneurship certification.
