He also urged the graduands to remain dedicated and see themselves as ambassadors of the school.
Ogiame said, “I want them (students) to be more dedicated to their studies so that the labour of their parents in sending them to school will not be wasted.
“We hear of cultism; we hear of fighting and the killing of students. Their (students) parents did not send them to go to school to do that.”
