Professor Mitchual encouraged the graduates to use the knowledge and competencies acquired through their education to contribute meaningfully to national development.
“Be job creators with the skills you have acquired and not job seekers who largely depend on the state,” he said.
He also warned against engaging in corrupt practices, noting that although corruption might appear attractive, it could have serious consequences for individuals, their families and communities when exposed.
“Do not engage in any form of corruption wherever you find yourselves, both in public and private life,” he urged.
Professor Mitchual further encouraged the graduates to make positive contributions to their families, workplaces and communities while upholding the reputation of their institutions.
