NIGERIA – Akure, Mary Help of Christians- Today marks a significant milestone for the Federal University of Oye Ekiti (FUOYE) as it holds the matriculation ceremony for the pioneer students of its newly established part-time study centre in Akure. The ceremony is taking place at the Oratory of Don Bosco, located within the Mary Help of Christians Parish, Akure.
The opening of this study centre reflects FUOYE’s commitment to expanding access to higher education by bringing university programmes closer to working adults and other learners seeking flexible study options. Through this collaboration, the Don Bosco Oratory provides a conducive academic and moral environment rooted in the Salesian tradition of education, which emphasizes discipline, responsibility, and holistic formation.
The matriculation ceremony formally welcomes the first cohort of students into the FUOYE academic community at this centre. University officials, parish representatives, lecturers, students, and invited guests are present to witness this historic occasion, which signals the beginning of academic life for the new intake.
With this development, the Akure part-time study centre is set to become an important hub for lifelong learning in Ondo State, offering students the opportunity to pursue quality university education while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
