The 6th Convocation Ceremony of Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun State, which holds on Thursday 8th January, 2015 will see a total of 598 students receive their first degree certificates with 28 of them bagging First Class Honours.
The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Debo Adeyewa, who made this known during his pre-convocation press conference said that another 201 graduating students made Second Class Upper Division while 266 came out with Second Class Lower Division.
He added that 103 graduates fell into other categories.
Prof. Adeyewa congratulated the 2013/2014 graduands and urged them to be a good representative of the institution anywhere they find themselves in the future.
Visiting Vice Chancellors at the event
While clamouring for the inclusion of the university and other privately owned university in grants by the Federal Government, Adeyewa said that it was unfair to exclude private institutions from research grants.
He said, “We win international honours but our nation tells us that our university is not good enough to do research with the public fund.”
The vice chancellor said that the fees paid by students of the university about two years ago could not pay workers salaries alone apart from other costs.

Adeyewa added that the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, regularly paid fees of some indigent students while his wife, Folu, had some students she was sponsoring in the school.
Congratulations to the graduating students…
