He spoke further by saying that of the total admitted, only 3,983 accepted the offers. He therefore counselled the students to see their admission as a privilege.

He advised them to choose their friends carefully, and follow the rules and regulations of the university.

He equally advised the students to see their academic pursuits as their priority assignments, while all other pursuits should be considered as additional benefits.
