She therefore challenged the new graduates to think of ways they can do things differently and implored them to “leave their egos and differences and work together to build a better Nigeria.â€
Also, the Vice-Chancellor, Pan Atlantic University, Lagos, Professor Juan Elegido, was quoted in a statement to have congratulated all the graduates and implored them to be good ambassadors of the institution by putting to use the knowledge they have acquired to better the country and the African continent.
