At the 12th convocation ceremony held at the varsity campus, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. AA Atayero said the university also produced 35 Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) holders and 235 Master’s Degree holders.

According to the Vice Chancellor, the institution has so far succeeded in supplying Nigerian nation with the most employable graduates.

“We strive to be more relevant in solving or proffering solutions to the social, economic, political and technological challenges of the nation and look forward to when more universities in Nigeria can join us going beyond the ‘mathematics’ or theory of what universities do. 

“As a university, we should be lifting the burden of the nation. When the idea of university is properly understood in is context, these ivory towers will come to the level of the common man and become more of solution than contributing to the burden of nationhood. For us at Covenant University, we have positioned ourselves to uplift Nigeria and the continent of Africa at large,” the Vice Chancellor said.
