By Love Ikuku-Oyedokun

Iwo, Osun State – December 28, 2025: The Managing Director of Remita Payment Services Limited, Mr. ‘DeRemi Atanda, has charged new students of Bowen University to build their academic journey on purpose, discipline, and strong values to achieve meaningful personal growth and national impact.

Cablenews24 reports that t the university’s 24th Matriculation Ceremony, Atanda, the guest speaker, emphasized that higher education goes beyond academics—it is a transformative phase that shapes character and future contributions to society.

“Matriculation is not just a formality; it is a transition into responsibility,” he told the 1,342 freshmen. “Whether by choice or circumstance, your presence here signifies purpose unfolding. Bowen University will nurture your potential, but your commitment to discipline and integrity will determine your success.”

This Online News Medium gathered that Atanda drew parallels between the significance of December 18—a date marking milestones like the abolition of slavery and the UN’s adoption of Arabic—and the students’ new beginning. “Just as these events shaped history, your time here will shape your future,” he said.

Sharing insights from Remita’s growth—from a payroll solution to a platform processing over ₦60 trillion annually—he encouraged students to embrace small beginnings. “Great achievements start with disciplined execution. Never underestimate the power of consistency and ethical persistence.”

With rapid technological and economic shifts, Atanda stressed the importance of adaptability without moral compromise. “Trust is the ultimate currency. Shortcuts may offer temporary gains, but integrity secures lasting success,” he warned.

Recalling his own university days, he highlighted how curiosity and participation opened doors for him. “A single article I wrote as a freshman led to media opportunities and my first job. Engage fully—your next breakthrough could come from unexpected efforts.”

Bowen University’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Jonathan Babalola, earlier reminded students of the institution’s faith-based ethos, urging them to uphold godliness, excellence, and leadership.

Atanda echoed this, urging the freshmen to take ownership of their journey. “Admission is just the start. Dream boldly, act deliberately, and take responsibility for the future you want to create.”

He concluded by congratulating the matriculating class, expressing confidence that their years at Bowen would equip them for lives of purpose and impact.
