UI launches book on employment, entrepreneurship

As part of its mission to contribute to the transformation of society through creativity and innovation, University of Ibadan (UI), has concluded arrangements to launch a book packaged to tackle joblessness and unemployment.

 

The Media Assistant to the the University’s Vice Chancellor, Mr  Sunday Saanu, who disclosed this on his verified Facebook account on Tuesday informed that the book Entitled ‘From School To Work’, written by one of the UI’s alumni, Prince Abiodun Lufadeju in partnership with the University is deliberately designed to assist both graduate and undergraduate students to overcome the challenges of unemployment.

 

According to the author, “the book is a paradigm shift instrument to begin the psychological reprocessing and mindset re-engineering of our graduates. It is to inject the urgently needed employment orientation into our educational system. In the process, it will engage our undergraduates in some cognitive realignment, grooming them on how to convert their natural potential to employment and commercial enterprise ”

Also, three UI’s lecturers had reviewed the book as the University of Ibadan is considering making the book one of its General Studies materials with foreword written by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Abel Idowu Olayinka.

 

“The public presentation of the book has been slated for Wednesday 27 November, 2019 at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan by 10 am”, Saanu said.
