The trek terminated at the residence of the former Governor of Lagos State, late Chief Michael Otedola, where Lady ‘Doja Otedola, his wife, received the University community and admonished the students to study hard and be of good behaviour. Lady ‘Doja was presented a gift by Miss Chidera Nwakwo, a 200 level student of Computer Science.

SPORTS

The sports competition was between the Faculties of Science and the Humanities and Social Sciences. Students of the two faculties played for glory in the football and basketball competitions, which both ended in a draw. 

 

The students were given an enlightening talk on the Nigerian stock market by Mr. Edikan Ekong of the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers (CIS). He distinguished between the money market (short term financial market) and the capital market (long term financial market). 

Furthermore, he enjoined those who had interest in stock broking to start with a diploma from CIS which could enable them work as sales agent. He added that employment opportunities were available for stock brokers in oil companies, stock broking firms as well as opportunity for entrepreneurship and self-employment.
