Abstract
This edition of the Ceremonies will witness the awards of degrees for Postgraduate Diploma, Master, Doctorate as well as honorary Gold Medals. The ceremonies will begin at 10:00am on Friday, January 13, 2023 with the Commissioning of a Tele-Medicine Project (facilitated by our Pro Chancellor and Chairman of Council, Distinguished Senator Dr. Lanre Tejuoso) at the College of Medicine, Idi Araba. On the same day, from 1:00pm to 2:00pm, the Jumat Service for the ceremonies will take place at the University of Lagos Mosque.
At 10:00am on Tuesday, January 17, 2023, the Investiture of the 13th Vice-Chancellor will take place at the J.F. Ade-Ajayi Auditorium. At 12:00am, in the same venue, the Convocation Lecture will be delivered by Mr Chinenye Mba-Uzoukwu, the Managing Partner of Grand Central Africa. He has almost 30 years of an eclectic career spanning marketing communications, digital design, strategy, software development and digital transformation consulting in private and public sectors. A recognized policy analyst thought leader and technology solutions architect, he has a unique blend of strategic thinking, technical skills and competencies in multi-country people management, communications and cross-group collaboration. He founded multiple-award winning technology solutions provider, InfoGraphics Nigeria in 1996 leading its young teams to a record-setting five-time winner of Microsoft Partner Awards. He has worked with several industry and government agencies and is a member of various computer and software society within and outside Nigeria. He is the current President of the Institute of Software Practitioners of Nigeria (ISPON). His antecedents make him eminently qualified to speak on the topic, “Finding the Boundaries of the Possible, Venturing Beyond”, and I am confident that he shall provide insights about the future and broaden our perspective that will help the university to stimulate discussions/engagement with the private sector as well as the academia in looking in to the future where a large percentage of its services and systems will be driven by technology.
