It is with a deep sense of humility and appreciation to Almighty Allah (SWT) that I welcome you on behalf of the Management of the Federal University of Technology, Babura to the 3rd Matriculation Ceremony of the University. The ceremony formally marks the end of the admission for the 2024/2025 Academic Session and the matriculation of One Hundred and Sixty-six (166) Students into the School of Engineering & Technology and Four Hundred and Seventy (470) Students into the School of Sciences and Information Communication Technology. Today’s ceremony is very significant as it is a statutory activity to formally admit deserving and qualified candidates who are offered admission into this great University.
A total of Nine Hundred and Sixty-three (963) candidates applied to the Federal University of Technology, Babura to study various Science and Technology Courses (13 Programmes) being offered at the University. However, out of the number, only Six Hundred and Thirty-six (636) candidates were offered admission based on their JAMB and O’level examination results. Based on this development, I want to use this opportunity to congratulate you on your success in getting admission to this University and to also recognize and commend parents and guardians who are here today, for choosing the Federal University of Technology, Babura for your wards as the Institution of their first choice out of the numerous Universities in the Country. This is a clear testimony of the confidence you reposed on us as a University.
It is worthwhile to note that the main aim of this Matriculation exercise, apart from signalling the end of the admission period for the 2024/2025 Session, is to familiarize you with the fundamental principles, core values and cultures of your great University. Our core values informed our vision which is to be a leading University of Technology excelling in teaching and research for development.
