The Matriculation Monitoring Unit of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, has issued a directive to all newly admitted students regarding changes to the upcoming Matriculation Ceremony, aimed at ensuring smooth proceedings and crowd control.

Key Protocols for Freshers:

• Proper Attire: Students must wear their matriculation gowns correctly.
• Early Arrival: All freshers are required to report before 6:30 a.m. at the ceremony venue.
