Salami expressed delight that the university ran the two sessions in a succession relatively without any hitches, after the COVID-19 lockdown and ASUU strike that grounded academic activities in 2020.

The vice-chancellor said that the two sessions had to be compressed in order to ensure that the students graduated as planned and that no student lost any year.
