Why Nile varsity recorded upward trajectory in 2023 graduates – Prof Dogo

The Vice Chancellor of Nile University of Nigeria, Prof. Dilli Dogo, has disclosed that the university’s upward trajectory, which saw it graduating over 1,200 students this year compared to 800 in 2022, is due to its admission into the Honoris United Universities in 2020.

Prof Dogo who stated this at the 11th convocation ceremony of the university in Abuja recently, said from a predominantly regional player in the Nigerian education space with a little over 3,000 students before the Honoris acquisition, Nile University has quickly transformed into a major national player with more than 9,000 students.

“The accelerated, unprecedented growth enjoyed by Nile University under the ownership of Honoris results from significant investments in academic innovation, employability and student experience,” he said.

The Vice Chancellor said the institution is committed to providing a conducive atmosphere for students to thrive academically, personally and socially.
