He said, “As usual, all those 15 students that made the first class in this set have automatic employment into Edo State Civil service; your job is waiting for you.

“We have made it a standard that any graduate from any of our universities in Edo State that made a first class should be given automatic employment in our public and civil service. We want to build quality manpower.

“As we mark the fourth convocation ceremony of the Edo State University Uzairue, the institution has continued to blaze the trail in teaching and research in Nigeria. This academic year has been challenging but we are today celebrating the first set of our postgraduate students.

“In the last six years, we have placed a premium on education. We have continued to implement transformational reforms in our basic education sector because we believe that the foundation in which education rests must be a solid one.”
