The Vice-Chancellor of Precious Cornerstone University, Ibadan, Professor Timothy O. Adejumo has told matriculants of the University to begin to see themselves as leaders of today and tomorrow.
He gave the charge in an address read at the Matriculation Ceremony held for the 121 students admitted into the University for the 2023/2024 academic session.
The Vice-Chancellor warned that the University has zero tolerance for every act of indiscipline, misconduct, and all forms of examination malpractices.
He advised the students to determine to be the best version of themselves by the time their programmes are completed.
“You must not do anything that will disturb the peace of the institution, resist every evil peer group influence that may truncate or cut short your journey in this institution, shun all social vices, and embrace peace and harmony” he charged.
