In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most merciful. It is my pleasure to welcome you all to this first Induction ceremony of the department of Health Education, Kwara State college of Health Technology, Offa.

I thank and appreciate the efforts of the Head of the Department, Alhaji Abdullai Kelani Shehu (a.k.a Sinrin) and the organizers of this programme for counting it worthy to gather people here today to celebrate the new grandaunts of the department.

I also felicitate with the inductees of today for their endurance and tireless efforts in the pursuit of their program. May God Almighty continue to be with you all today and forever. At this junction, permit me to admonish you that the sky is your limit. Do not relent in your continuous pursuit of greater and higher academic programmes. I wish to hear that you have been admitted into various Universities for your Degree programmes.

In addition, you should be good ambassadors of the College wherever you are. Try as much as possible to shum all acts that can tarnish your image and that of the College. As you go out into the already saturated labour market, I pray that you shall not suffer to survive. Try as much as possible to lay your hands on something lawful that can fetch you money. Remember, an idle man is the devil’s instrument. Keep yourselves busy and don’t be tempted to do evil. I pray that it shall be well with you whenever you are.

I also appreciate all guests at this occasion for taking time to be here. May God see you through in your journey back to your various destinations. The parents and guidance are also welcome to this occasion. Your labour on the inductees will not be in vain by God grace.

The Management, staff and students are also appreciated for their presence at this occasion. May God be with everyone. I thank you so much for your attention.
