“Lectures for fresh students kick off on Monday, October 24 and on Thursday, October 27 registration for fresh students ends as the university holds the 2021/2022 matriculation ceremony for fresh students on the following day, Friday, October 28.”
Balogun noted that while the 2021/2022 first semester would end in January 2023, the 2020/2021 session will also end in December, 2022.
