Anchor University Lagos has taken a giant leap to reposition the institution for effective service delivery to all and sundry.
Making this disclosure was the vice-chancellor, Professor Samuel Bandele during the 6th matriculation and investiture of the 2nd vice-chancellor ceremony held at the school premises on Saturday in Ayobo.
Prof. Bandele, whose investiture took place simultaneously with the matriculation ceremony informed that the mandate to reposition the institution was driven by his new vision to build on the core value the ivory tower is noted for: Excellence, Competence, Courage.
He explained further that his vision was anchored on three pillars: Enrolment, Enrichment, and Engagement assuring that he would deploy all available resources to ensure that this noble mission was achievable within the shortest possible time.
The former Ekiti State University vice-chancellor, however, congratulated the matriculants for the privilege of being inducted into the university as full-fledged members.
“After today’s ceremony, the matriculants can raise their shoulders as bonafide students who can lay claim to good or officially recognized things that describe or define a university undergraduate.
“I therefore heartily congratulate you, your parents, and invitees who came to add to this joyous moment in your lives”, he rejoiced with the matriculants.

“We also thank God that there is a gradual increase in enrolment of matriculants at today’s ceremony. Over 200 students are having their matriculation today. We know it will get better in the next edition of this program”, he sounded optimistic.
He also intimated the new students about positive development within the campus that would make their stay in the school more enjoyable, fulfilling, and rewarding.
“For instance, the cafeteria has undergone a radical upgrade to very high levels, comparable with any cafeteria in Nigeria universities. Also, the supermarket has been upgraded to serve both the staff and the students on the campus”.
Meanwhile, as part of the ongoing re-organization in the school, the management is planning to start three new programs next academic session. They are LLB Law, B.Sc Nursing Science, and BSc. Architecture.
