A WELCOME ADDRESS
PRESENTED BY THE PRESIDENT CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT FEDERAL COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
EHA-AMUFU ON THE 2014/2015 ORIENTATION PARTY OF THE YEAR ONE STUDENTS
GOOD DAY MY H.O.D
MY HONORABLE LECTURERS
THE EXCUTIVES OF THE DEPARTMENT
THE NEW AND OLDER STUDENTS OF THE
DEPARTMENT
I Welcome you all
I feel highly
honored for this golden opportunity given to me to address this commencement
exercise. Today marks a great day in the life of every year one students of the
department as you are about to be incorporated fully into the norms and
etiquette of the renowned department.
Your
coming to this renowned institution is not by mistake this is because the tall
Iroko’s from Little Accord grows. Many professors in our country also passed
through the same route so wipe away all lackadaisical attitudes which you may
have come into the institution with.
“Greatness” which we had imbibed and
hypothesized as the bed rock of our slogan should be your pursuit. Bearing in
mind that great minds have purposes while low minds have wishes and knowing
fully that a person who wake up in the morning and becomes suddenly great did
not sleep the previous night. Remember that Abraham Lincoln’s the ex-president
of America has this popular slogan in his days as a political and it goes thus
“great men are ordinary men with extra ordinary determination.
Moreover, I would like to bring to your cognizance that
over the years the department have been creating waves and making positive
impact to the school as a whole one of such achievers is Orakwe Christiana who
emerged the best graduating student of the 2013 session also the present S.U.G
president of the School is from the same department and many more.
In addition, unlike other departments, we are blessed with
lecturers with the je ne sais quoi which distinguishes professionals from
armature, who embrace the needs of the students as that of parents and children
so never you fail to approach them in time of confusion.
Finally,
higher institution is a place where every man is the parent of themselves never
you engage yourself with any activity which may seem inimical to your future.
Do not join the thousand that dash their lower dichotomy to the opposite sex in
exchange for materialism. If you feel the institution is below you statue make
it a vision to be the best. As you are admitted into this institution know it
that success does not come by keeping to the right track but your movement
while on the right track.
Good
luck as am looking forward to seeing you rightfully at the top of the ladder of
success
