Dear Students of ABUAD,
On behalf of our esteemed Founder and Chancellor, Aare Afe Emmanuel Babalola, OFR, CON, SAN, LL. D (London), LL.D (UNILAG), LL.D (UI), D.Lit (NDA), FNIALS, FCI.Arb, FNSE, FKC (London), his supportive wife Yeye Aare Modupe Babalola, FSM, FNIMN, FFPA, the Board of Trustees, the Governing Council, the Senate, and the entire ABUAD community, I warmly welcome you back to campus as we commence the Second Semester of the 2024/2025 academic session.
This semester’s resumption is more than a return to routine; it is a renewed commitment to ABUAD’s core values of diligence, focus, and excellence. These are not just ideals; they are the pillars of your success and the foundation of our institution’s legacy. As you step into your classrooms, laboratories, and study spaces, I urge you to embrace this moment with purpose and determination.
Remember that your focus is the compass in a world filled with distractions and where you must keep your eyes fixed on your goals. Surround yourself with peers who inspire and uplift you. Time here is precious—guard it wisely and invest it in pursuits that align with your aspirations, our and your parents’ expectations.
Diligence, hardwork and commitment remain the bedrock of great achievements. The world beyond these walls demands nothing less than your best efforts, and at ABUAD, we provide the tools and environment for you to explore and excel. But tools alone are not enough, it is your determination to succeed that will sharpen them into instruments of impact.
While recognising the Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven world and the digital market space, you are called upon once again to make the best of your lecture, assignment and opportunity. ABUAD cannot exist without you, our students and us your teachers; let us build together on the vision of our Founder, remembering that ABUAD is not just a university but a movement for reform, innovation, outstanding transformation and a ground that moulds your future.
I am excited to have you back, our dear students. The future is yours. The future is here. The future is now and I wish you all the graces to make it exceptional.
May Almighty God bless you as you fabricate your future with the iron of your perseverance.
Thank you,
Prof. E. Smaranda Olarinde, FCArb, FCAI,
Vice Chancellor, ABUAD,
