“I am looking forward to hearing more of the great strides you will be making in your different spheres of life,” she said.
Binta Max Gbinijie, a reverend and guest speaker at the occasion, speaking on theme: ‘Mentoring Before and After,” commended Funmi Babington-Ashaye for her contribution especially in the nation’s economy and women empowerment.
Gbinijie, a financial executive and financial management consultant, while congratulating the graduands for making it to the end, charged them to make proper and judicious use of the knowledge and experience they acquired from various mentors that engaged them during the mentoring programme.
“We are actually releasing you into the world believing that everything that you learned, you will put them to use, and we are also expecting to hear greater things about you going forward.
“Go out into the world and make a difference. Your name should be the difference market, they should call you disruptor, someone who is not allowing the status-co to remain for greater thins, she said.
Gbinijie also urged the graduands to be known for one thing, integrity. Someone who keeps to time and delivers on timeline. Be a stickler of your word no matter what it takes or the circumstances, she advised.
She also emphasised on giving back to the society, urging the women graduands to volunteer their time, energy and resources to nurture other women and the society where they find themselves.
