Newly admitted students of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, were on Thursday taken through rituals of orientation, aimed at exposing them to rules and regulations of the institution.
The exercise, which started at exactly 9 am, lasted for hours and will continue on Friday at the university’s Great Hall.
The essence of the orientation programme, which usually precedes matriculation ceremonies in LAUTECH, is to ensure that newly admitted members of the university community are guided against running foul of the laws, that could cut short their stay on any campus of the institution.
Speakers during the first day of the training programme, for which lecture free days were declared, included the University Registrar, Dr. Kayode Ogunleye; and Chairman of the Committee of Provosts and Deans, Prof. Tunde Ogunkunle, who represented the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Razaq Olatunde Rom Kalilu.
Other dignitaries at the occasion included representative of the Bursar, Dean of Students Affairs, University Chairperson, Orientation Committee; and Director LAUTECH Information and Communication Technology Centre, Prof. Stephen Olatunde Olabiyisi, among others.
