"On behalf of the Management of Federal University Lokoja, I, Prof. Olayemi Akinwumi, the Vice-Chancellor, join in extending our heartfelt congratulations to you for being alive to witness another Eid-el-Maulud. Let us all remain prayerful and committed to the life of peace as exemplified by the Holy Prophet.

"I also humbly request your sustained prayers for the success of my administration and all the University's projects and programmes, particularly the forthcoming 6th and 7th combined Convocation Ceremonies scheduled to hold between October 16 and 21, 2023. Your prayers and usual support are invaluable as we work towards the success of these important events.
