Igbinedion University, Okada has officially released details of its 23rd Convocation Ceremony, a two-day celebration scheduled for November 2025.

This year’s convocation promises a mix of intellectual engagement, inspiring speeches and a grand award ceremony—designed to mark a defining moment in the lives of the Class of 2025.
A Two-Day Celebration of Achievement and Purpose
The convocation will run over two days, each dedicated to a core activity.
Day 1: Convocation Lecture – Friday, November 28, 2025
The ceremony will begin with a high-profile Convocation Lecture delivered by Honourable Dr Yusuf Tanko Sununu, Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.
Dr Sununu will speak on the theme: “The Nexus between Education and National Prosperity in a Transformative Economy.”
Students, staff, alumni and invited guests will explore how education, skill development and public policy can drive sustainable national growth—insight that is especially relevant for graduates stepping into Nigeria’s workforce, innovation spaces and public service sectors.
Day 2: Degree Awards – Saturday, November 29, 2025
The second day will feature the main convocation ceremony, where the university will formally:
- Confer First Degrees on undergraduate students
- Confer Higher Degrees on postgraduate students
- Present special awards to distinguished graduates
The event will have in attendance Brigadier General Olakunle Oluseye Nafiu, Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). His presence underscores the connection between academic achievement, national service and early career opportunities for young Nigerians.
A Gathering of Families, Alumni and the University Community
The convocation is open to the broader Igbinedion University community—including parents, guardians, alumni, partners and friends.
For many families, the ceremony represents triumph after years of hard work, tests, projects and practical learning.
Graduates will reconnect with classmates, take memorable photos across the Okada campus, meet distinguished guests and celebrate their transition into a new phase of life. Staff and alumni will also be present to welcome the Class of 2025 into a wider professional and academic network.
Why This Convocation Matters
Beyond the celebrations, the 23rd Convocation Ceremony marks a defining milestone for students. The lecture offers them an intellectual lens for understanding Nigeria’s evolving economy, while the award ceremony provides formal recognition of their years of dedication.
Together, both events symbolize a powerful message: their hard work has value, purpose and national relevance.
As the Class of 2025 steps forward with their degrees, Igbinedion University stands proudly beside them—celebrating their achievements and sending them off toward promising futures.
