Kemi Olaitan in Ibadan 

The Provost of Iseyin College of Science and Health Technology, Prof. Oluwasogo Olalubi, has charged new students of the institution to use the period of their stay in the school and afterwards to serve humanity and transform their society.

He made this statement at the 2025 matriculation ceremony of the college, held at Ajelanwa Village, Iseyin, Oyo State, calling on the new students to remain curious and focus on their academics to become architects of the country’s future.

The event featured the swearing of an oath by 1,300 students, of whom 1,000 gained admission to study health technology courses, while 300 were admitted to study education courses.

Olalubi said the students are not in the school merely as passers-by but to fulfil the threshold of destiny, stating that the ceremony marked more than their formal admission but the beginning of a life-changing journey.

According to him, in choosing education and health sciences, they have answered a higher calling to serve humanity, promote well-being, and uphold the dignity of life.

“You have been called into a sacred order, not only to chase certificates but to transform society through the deployment of integrity, skills, expertise, cutting-edge technology and innovations. Ideally, today is not really the beginning of school. It is the beginning of your significance and relevance within the community,” Olalubi said. 

He also acknowledged the sustained mutual relationship between the institution and the host community, urging the people of Iseyin to continue supporting the college’s progress.

Present at the event were representatives of traditional rulers, youth organisations and religious leaders, among others.
