AAUA CONVOCATION: Mimiko gives automatic employment to 10 First Class graduates.

The Ondo State governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, has said that the state government would give automatic employment to the 10 First Class graduates of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (AAUA).

The governor, who spoke at the fourth Convocation annniversary of the institution, said the move was to reward excellence and also encourage other students to work harder.

He noted that though, traditionally, it was the school that employed such candidates but added that any of those lucky graduates who was not interested in academic job would be engaged in the state civil service.

Mimiko, however, stated that his administration would continue to support the institution and assist it to achieve its aim of becoming one of the best in the country, inspite of its fees which was the lowest in the country.

He said, “ we have ensured that the admission of students into AAUA is purely on merit, there is no governor’s list, no VC’s list, that is why we are getting good results from our students,”

Mimiko also commended the management, staff and students of the institution for maintaining discipline on the campus, saying in the last four years, there was no interruption in the academic programmes of the university.

The Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Femi Mimiko, said that the authourities of the school had ensured that the 14-year-old institution developrd everyday academically and in terms infrastructure.

He, however, noted that the achievements were possible because of the support from the state government, adding that all the programmes being run by the university had been accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

The vice chancellor said “ I am delighted to announce to you that all our academic programmes except two that have ‘back to back’ interim status are accredited by NUC with 88 per cent of them enjoying full accredited status.”

The VC, who revealed that the alumni of the school were doing excellently well in various fields all around the world, maintained that the school would not relent on hardwork and discipline in order to achieve the goals of excellence.

No fewer than 5,497 students from the 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 sessions received first and higher degrees from different departments.

Universally Competent Graduate !!!!!!!!!!!. I no fit shout joor.

Governor is Olusegun Mimiko
Vice chancellor is Femi Mimiko
Won't be surprised if the 5 out of the 10 first class graduates are Mimikos also

Are we suppose to clap and jump up?

The governor sacked over 1,000 people mostly those that have spent considerable years in service.
Worst still, most employee does not know their fate. Are we suppose to dance for him?

Lilimax: First class is fast becoming like pure water in Nigerian Universities. I am not moved at all....

One in 6 graduates in the UK has a First, so I dont think having 10 first in a University of probably 10,000 is something to be proud of, or regard as commonplace.

You are not sincere let alone generous with your statement. I dnt knw why ppl dnt appreciate things they cant get.

First Class this, First Class that
What of the students who could not make a first class cos they had part time jobs or because they got screwed by a lecturer.

As much as this is a good gesture, this is one of the problems with our society, everybody is always quick to talk up or reward someone with certifications. These certifications does not even begin to tell you what this person is capable of.
Whatever happened to rewarding people based on what they could do or what they brought to the table rather than judging individuals based on documents.

Ever wondered why we have loads of square pegs in round holes, ever wondered why that minister abi governor with the fake Toronto certificate got so far.
The sooner we stop using paper work to judge people the better for us, because everyone, even the so-called 3rd class student has loads to offer.
