Invitation To 1st Convocation Ceremony Of Covenant University ‘The Release of Eagles’

On October 21st, 2002, a radical departure in the content and context of University education in Africa commenced with the inauguration of Covenant University at Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria.

Since its birth, the University has been relentless in its efforts at raising a new generation of leaders, through a rigorous pursuit of a new education paradigm that places equal emphasis on learning and character. The core intention of which is to produce graduates, well-equipped spiritually, mentally and physically with the in-built capacity and confidence to confront the challenges of the 21st century in Africa and beyond as well as cause radical and positive changes in their world. In short, the training plan at Covenant University is to graduate men and women who will in turn become world changers.

The above are some of the noble goals being pursued since the founding of the University about four years ago. Now the time is set to send forth its first graduates, an occasion we, at the University, have christened the ‘Release of Eagles' because to us the convocation of the charter students is not only historic and momentous, but a time of validation of all the efforts of stakeholders in causing a change in the education process and the products thereafter.

In marking this unique occasion, a week-long programme of activities has been lined up, and it will be of great joy to the University's leadership, management, faculty and staff as well as students for you to be part of the historic witnessing from July 24-30, 2006.
We will be glad to receive you at the Convocation Ceremony slated for Friday, 28 July, 2006, at the Faith Tabernacle Canaanland, Ota.
