The students comprises of full-time and part-time of the National Diploma, Higher National Diploma and Post Graduate Diploma studies of the Institute.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Provost of the Institute, Barrister Gbemiga Ogunleye, encouraged the new students to remain true bona fide students of the Institution who will defend the integrity of the institution.

"To you matriculating students, remember that you toiled and worked hard to secure this admission. Recall that not everybody who applied for admission was given an offer.

"This is why you must work hard to guard the admission jealously so that you do not lose it. This you can do by facing your studies squarely avoiding everything that can bring you into confrontation with authorities.

Ogunleye urged the matriculating students to 'realize that genuine success can be achieved by dint of handbook. Any attempt to cut corners to achieve success usually results in disgrace', adding that the students should be prepared to 'give it what it takes to achieve success', the Provost said.
