The former Speaker, who is the university’s Chancellor, said next year’s elections would not consume the country.
He was optimistic that the country would come out of the elections stronger.
Dogara noted that being radical was to shun violence and vote-buying and embrace peaceful electoral processes that entail orderliness.
Dogara urged Nigerians to use their PVCs to vote for their future.
“We cannot look away as stakeholders in the Nigeria project. It is therefore imperative that we have a voice in moving the Nation forward”, the Speaker said.
“Remember, the power is your vote, and the vote is your future. Don’t sell it, and don’t keep it in your room.
“You must use it. Participate by coming out massively to vote for your conscience. Vote for unity, peace, justice and development.”
Speaking at the ceremony, the institution’s Pro-Chancellor, Dr. Bode Ayorinde, said all staff would be enrolled in Pension Administrators of their choice to enable them to be at par with their workers in public universities.
According to him, plans were on to increase students population from 3,500 to 8,000 and the number of Colleges to eight.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Samuel Aje, said 30 out of a total of 520 graduands bagged first-class degrees.
Aje said the institution would soon begin programmes in aviation, pharmacy, and medicine.
