What the Ceremony Is About
Matriculation is a long-standing academic tradition that officially welcomes new students into a university. At KDU’s 9th matriculation, fresh students will take the matriculation oath, pledging to abide by the rules and values of the institution.
This oath-taking formally signifies the beginning of their academic journey and confirms their status as bonafide members of the KolaDaisi University community.
Parents, guardians, and invited guests are expected to witness the ceremony, which typically features academic processions, formal addresses, and the administration of the oath.
Who Will Preside
The university disclosed that the ceremony will be presided over by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Adeniyi Olatumbosun, SAN, who will conduct the matriculation rites on behalf of the University Senate. He is also expected to formally welcome the new students and outline the institution’s academic values and expectations.
Why It Matters
For newly admitted students, matriculation is more than a ceremony—it is the official confirmation of admission and the first major academic event of university life. Attendance is therefore regarded as compulsory.
KolaDaisi University continues to strengthen its academic traditions while providing a structured and student-focused learning environment.
