President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will reveal various projects recently finished at the University of Ilorin in Kwara State on Monday, October 23.

Kunle Akogun, the University’s Director of Corporate Affairs, made the announcement in a statement issued on Sunday, commemorating the institution’s combined 37th and 38th convocation ceremonies.

The three-day events will begin on Friday with a Special Jumaat Service, followed by an Inter-denominational Church Service on Sunday, according to Akogun.

According to a spokeswoman at Unilorin, Saturday will be Convocation Day II, when degrees and honors will be conferred on all final-year students of four-year and five-year academic programs in 2021/2022.

He went on to say that the event’s highlights include the staging of a drama titled ‘Jeong Do-Jeon (The Clash of Power)’ and the grand finale graduation of the 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 six-year programs, as well as Postgraduate students, on October 23.

“The program consists of three days of ceremonies held at the university’s Main Auditorium from Friday to October 23.”

“A Korean drama written by Jung Hyun-min will be performed at the university’s Performing Arts Theatre.”

“A major highlight of the ceremonies will be the Convocation Lecture, which will be delivered on Friday by Nigerian-born, US-based Professor of History Tayo Falola.”
