He continued, highlighting the university’s focus on holistic development.

“At Global Wealth University, we are not only preparing our students to excel academically but also to acquire top-notch professional skills,” Prof. Imumolen added.

“We’ve made professional training compulsory for every student as part of our curriculum, ensuring they are not just job seekers but solution providers.”

The Vice Chancellor also unveiled plans to provide graduates with access to funding, enabling them to pursue entrepreneurial ventures and contribute to Africa’s development.
