The programme, initially scheduled to commence earlier in the day, began at exactly 11:00 AM due to the statewide environmental sanitation exercise, which restricted movement until 10:00 AM. Despite this delay, the event recorded an impressive turnout of fresh students and distinguished guests.

This was followed by the second presentation titled *“Managing Academic Excellence, Leadership Roles, and Upholding Moral and Religious Values – A Guide for Fresh Students,”* delivered by Professor Rasheed Abdulganiy, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics). His session emphasised the importance of balancing academics, leadership responsibilities, and moral discipline.

A major highlight of the event was the presentation of awards to the winners of the Freshers of the Year Quiz Competition, which was conducted as part of the orientation activities.

The programme also featured words of advice from selected guests, who encouraged the fresh students to remain focused, disciplined, and committed to both their academic and spiritual growth.
