Kashim Ibrahim University Welcomes New Students at 7th Orientation Ceremony

Kashim Ibrahim University (KIU) officially commenced its 2025/2026 academic session with its Seventh Orientation Ceremony, held at the university premises to integrate newly admitted students into the campus community.

The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Babagana Gutti, formally declared the event open, urging the freshers to prioritize discipline and strict adherence to institutional regulations. He reminded the students that while their academic journey varies in duration—spanning four to six years depending on their programmes—the foundation for their success starts with the orientation. 

"This is an annual tradition that precedes your formal matriculation," Professor Gutti stated. "It is designed to guide your trajectory here, and I encourage you to internalize every presentation delivered today."

The Registrar, Mrs. Jallaba M. Sheikh, in her welcoming remarks, described the ceremony as the "beginning of a new chapter." She expressed the University’s commitment to nurturing students who excel in both character and learning, aiming for a global impact that transcends Borno State. She challenged the students to maximize the academic and developmental facilities provided by the institution to reach their full potential.

The orientation featured a series of technical sessions led by resource persons covering critical areas, including:

Academic Expectations: Navigating university grading and course requirements.

Institutional Regulations: Understanding the legal and ethical framework of the campus.

Social Responsibility: Highlighting the dangers of drug abuse and the importance of personal conduct.

The ceremony serves as the final preparatory step before the official matriculation, where the students will be formally inducted as bona fide members of the KIU academic community.
