According to the statement, the scholarships were presented to the undergraduates by the Alumni president during the matriculation of the newly admitted students held on Wednesday. 

In his address, Oladeji urged the freshmen students to shun vices like cultism, examination malpractices, and drug abuse and instead make excellent academic pursuits their watchword.
