Mr. Feyzullah Bilgin, managing director of Nigerian Tulip International Colleges (NTIC), has urged graduating students to accept the appropriate adjustments to favourably mould their future.
Mr. Bilgin said the changes will redefine their future if they made the most of the opportunities presented to them while speaking at the college’s 24th graduation ceremony over the weekend in Abuja.
He claimed that due to technology, innovation, and humanity’s limitless potential, the world they are about to enter is changing at a previously unheard-of rate. As a result, he said, the fields of academia, finance, politics, and medicine are going through remarkable changes that offer countless opportunities and possibilities.
“Academic, financial, political, and medical fields are undergoing amazing changes, providing limitless prospects and possibilities,
“I want you to take a moment to think back on your road to get here. Keep in mind the numerous hours you spent studying, working on homework and class projects, and overcoming obstacles.
“These experiences have shaped the individuals you have become today and will continue to guide you in the future. It is crucial to recognize that education is a lifelong pursuit, and this ceremony marks just the beginning of your quest for knowledge and personal growth.
“As you step into the world beyond these walls, do so with confidence, resilience, and a commitment to making a positive difference.
“As you embark on your individual paths, remember the significance of integrity, compassion, and empathy. Be leaders who uplift and inspire those around you, striving to create a more inclusive and equitable society.
“Undoubtedly, you will face obstacles, setbacks, and moments of self-doubt. However, always remember that failure is not the antithesis of success; it is an integral stepping stone on the path to achievement.”
An NTIC alumni, Fareeda Ibrahim congratulated the students and urged them never to stop learning, saying that the world is constantly changing and it is up to each one of them to keep up with the changes and stay curious.
