The commissioning, held within the University Main Library, serves as a cornerstone of the 2025 graduation celebrations, signaling UNILAG’s transition toward a more technologically integrated academic environment.

During the unveiling, Professor Ogunsola characterized the facility as a "strategic investment" designed to redefine how research and scholarship are communicated across the continent. The center is equipped to support high-level digital content creation, archiving, and global knowledge sharing.

"This Digital Multimedia Centre is a bold step in our commitment to future-facing research," the Vice-Chancellor stated. "It provides our scholars and students with the tools necessary to compete and lead in the global digital landscape."

Following the commissioning, the Vice-Chancellor formally declared open the Convocation Exhibition of Works and Innovations. The exhibition showcases a diverse array of breakthroughs, artistic creations, and technological prototypes developed by students and faculty over the past academic year.

The dual events set a celebratory yet forward-thinking tone for the week-long convocation activities, which will see thousands of students transition into the university's alumni league.
