Why Nile varsity recorded upward trajectory in 2023 graduates – Prof Dogo

The Vice Chancellor of Nile University of Nigeria, Prof. Dilli Dogo, has disclosed that the university’s upward trajectory, which saw it graduating over 1,200 students this year compared to 800 in 2022, is due to its admission into the Honoris United Universities in 2020.

Prof Dogo who stated this at the 11th convocation ceremony of the university in Abuja recently, said from a predominantly regional player in the Nigerian education space with a little over 3,000 students before the Honoris acquisition, Nile University has quickly transformed into a major national player with more than 9,000 students.

“The accelerated, unprecedented growth enjoyed by Nile University under the ownership of Honoris results from significant investments in academic innovation, employability and student experience,” he said.

The Vice Chancellor said the institution is committed to providing a conducive atmosphere for students to thrive academically, personally and socially.

He said: “At Nile University of Nigeria, we firmly believe that a supportive and nurturing environment is essential for the success and overall well-being of students. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and diverse community that values and respects everyone, irrespective of their background, beliefs and abilities.”

Meanwhile 1,251 undergraduate and postgraduate students across seven faculties, including Health Sciences, Law, Engineering, Computing, Science, Arts & Social Sciences and Management Sciences, received their degrees, out of which 84 were awarded first-class degrees while 45 of the 632 PostGraduate students were awarded Doctor of Philosophy.

Adewole, for his exemplary achievements in the field.
