Dominican University on Saturday held her first convocation ceremony for the 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 academic season in a combined grand style.
The historic event was held on 10th of December, 2022 at the school premises, Somada, Ibadan, with a theme “Let your Degree Count,” and delivered by Peter Amangbo, Chairman, Globus Bank Limited . 
While delivering his keynote address, the presidential candidate of Labour Party, His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi has urged youths across the country to put creativity and innovations as service to fatherland first before strive for money and other material possession. 
The presidential candidate who is the Pro-Chancellor of Dominican University, in his key note address title: “The Time is Now and the Future is Here,” challenged the graduands on leadership skills, urging them to take cue from world icons like Mark Zuckerberk, and Martin Cooper who changed the narrative of the world through their creative works of facebook and mobile phone respectively. “They started with their ingenuity, creating what the world desperately need. They did not start out looking for money; but today money comes to them effortlessly.” Obi therefore advice the youth to seek first creativity and invention to put a breath of fresh air in the world; then, money and other things will follow.  
Harping on the fact that the youths constitute the largest segment of Nigeria’s population, he advised them to crave for holistic education that informs the mind, equips the hand, and enriches the heart to navigate their promising future. He also used the opportunity to commend the unrelented commitment of the Governing Council of Dominican University whose quality of education he described to be rich in technology, humanitarian and managerial education. This he said is in line with the vision and mission of the school which is to create the future in our youths. As a parting gift to the graduands, Obi took time to take photograph with each of them as a memorial symbol of love and support.
