Minaret University, Ikirun, has inducted its first set of students into its academic community at its maiden matriculation on Thursday, 30th April, 2026.

The event, conducted by the vice-chancellor, Prof. Abdur-Rahman Oladele Abdullah, signalled the commencement of full academic activities and the nurturing of its pioneer cohort.

A total of 12 students were matriculated during the ceremony, according to a statement issued by the registrar, Mr Oluyide Olu-Lawal. The pioneer intake comprises seven Computer Science students, one for Information Technology, two Cyber Security students, and two Accounting students.

The ceremony also featured the inauguration of the Parents Consultative Assembly (PCA) by the chancellor, Barr Azeez Folorunso Alatoye.
