Abstract
would like to welcome each of you, on behalf of the senate, staff and students of our university to this 11th Convocation. In a country with pulsating insecurity and a monstrous debt burden with the consequent economic pauperization of the masses, resulting in an unprecedented Japa Syndrome, I cannot take your presence on this occasion for granted. In spite of the socio- economic hiccups in our country a good number of us still believe that God is completely in control of our life and so believe in the future & quot; even though we cannot discern its shape & quot;. Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, in the first convocation speech in 2013,I concluded my speech with the imagery of an eagle. I love the flying capabilities of the eagle, its height and the gracefulness of its mind-blowing flight inspiring a new audacity of imagination. This explains why in my ceaseless reflection and philosophizing on our university, this imagery never disappears from the landscape of my mind. The eagle (our beloved university) has indeed taken off, soaring gracefully higher in a most fascinating fashion. I would like to take you on board now to watch the enthralling flight of this eagle since our last convocation.
