UNN to honour first set 50 years after graduation

Fifty years after they blazed a trail as the first Made in Nigeria graduates, the University of Nigeria is rolling out the drums to honour the 1963 class.

The Golden Jubilee celebration of the UNN Pioneers is part of activities to mark the 53^rd Founder’s Day.  Vice Chancellor Professor Bartho Okolo said Wednesday that UNN is celebrating the pioneers because the University earned its reputation for excellence based on their performance on graduation.

Records show that the University of Nigeria admitted 200 persons on October 7, 1960 but 150 persons graduated three years later in 1963. UNN was the first full-fledged wholly indigenous university in Nigeria; it beat a new path of offering its own degrees from inception rather than being tied to an existing institution.

 Okolo, the 13^th Vice chancellor of the University of Nigeria, said there were many reasons to celebrate the pioneers.
