The management of Veritas University has conferred Doctorate of Science, Honoris Causa (D.Sc.) on Group Managing Director of Sahara Power plc, Dr Kola Adesina on Saturday, November 10, 2024 during the institution’s 13th convocation ceremony in Abuja.
Reacting to this latest milestone on his social media platforms having been recognized, honored and decorated for his significant contributions to the scientific field and other human endeavors, Adesina thanked the university for the great honor bestowed on him while also advising the graduating class to allow curiosity, resilience, and purpose lead them in life’s trajectories.
Adesina’s social media post reads in full: “I’m truly honored to receive this honorary doctorate from Veritas University. My heartfelt thanks go to His Lordship, Most Rev. Dr. Matthew Hassan Kukah, Bishop of Sokoto and Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council, and Rev. FR. Prof. Hyacinth E. Ichoku, Vice Chancellor, Veritas University,
“It is indeed an honor to be chosen as the Valedictorian and an awardee alongside, His Grace Most Rev. Dr. Alaba Job, His Grace Most Rev. Dr. Anthony C.V. Obinna, and HRM Prof. Epiphany Aringe, Asagba of Asaba Kingdom. Standing here with such distinguished leaders, esteemed faculty, and inspiring graduates is truly humbling.
“Today, I’m reminded that no success happens in isolation. Every achievement we reach is built on the foundation of support and guidance from those around us—our mentors, friends, my partners in Sahara Group (Tope Shonubi, Ade Odunsi, Wale Ajibade and Moroti Adedoyin-Adeyinka), my colleagues, and loved ones. I am deeply thankful to all who have shaped my journey.
“To the graduating class, my message is this: let curiosity, resilience, and purpose lead you. Each obstacle you encounter is an opportunity to learn, to grow, to love, and to make an impact. Don’t be afraid of not having all the answers. Instead, embrace the questions that atter, and let your passion for discovery be your guide.
“As you step into the future, may we all be driven by the desire to make a difference, anchored in humility and fuelled by vision.
“Thank you, Veritas University, for bestowing this incredible honour upon me.”
