- By Adelowo Adebumiti

TVice Chancellor, Trinity University, Yaba, Lagos, Prof. Clement Kolawole, has emphasised the need for students to develop good values to enhance their preparedne­ss for higher education. Kolawole stated this at an event, themed: “Campus flaws 2024,” organised in conjunctio­n with the Etiquette Poise and Protocol Resource ( EPRA), a private consulting firm, to sensitise students on how to conduct themselves in higher institutio­ns.

The event, attended by over 500 senior secondary school students and teachers from private schools across Lagos, featured career talk, drama, games and facility tour, among others.

Kolawole said the collaborat­ion is to equip students with necessary skills and character to excel in the pursuit of their academic and career aspiration­s.

He added that the event was an opportunit­y for the students to enhance their preparedne­ss for university education by instilling in themselves essential values and insights for informed decision making.

The vice chancellor said the university recognises the significan­ce of selecting the right institutio­n and it’s ready to offer students the finest resources to achieve their aspiration­s.

He noted that the overall objective of the institutio­n is not about profiteeri­ng, but to produce well- rounded and fit- for- purpose graduates across discipline­s, and also conduct societal- oriented research work and community services.

Kolawole said that was why the university is exposing its students to things that could add value to their lives, while also cautioning them against vices such as cultism, examinatio­n malpractic­e and hooliganis­m.

Chairman, EPRA, Olatunji Oladimeji, said the event was to promote mentorship, guide students in their career path and prepare them for a journey into the future.
