Dr. David Oyedepo, the institution’s chancellor, also addressed the graduates and challenged them to be responsible and productive in order to avoid becoming liabilities in the future.

Everyone, according to Oyedepo, bears full responsibility for how their lives turn out since greatness comes at a cost.

“Life begins with a vision, and nobody achieves a future they haven’t planned for. It’s time to get up and assume responsibility as soon as possible because responsibility is defined as a commitment to one’s vision, he said.

The chancellor pleaded with parents to let their kids be responsible so they wouldn’t become burdens in the future.
