Redeemer’s University to present double certificates to graduating students

The management of Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun State, has announced that it will commence the issuance of double certificates in academic and vocational studies for graduating students.

The Vice-Chancellor of Redeemer’s University, Prof. Shadrack Akindele, announced this during the 21st matriculation ceremony of the university in Ede on Tuesday, January 13, 2026.

Akindele said 1,644 students were matriculated, of which 1,358 were undergraduates and 286 were postgraduate students.

He noted that 1,236 of the undergraduate students gained admission through the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), while 122 were Direct Entry (DE) students.

Akindele further stated that the matriculating students are the first set in the history of the university to graduate with double certifications — one in their academic discipline and another in an entrepreneurial vocation.

“Your set will be the first admitted batch for which the institution will be issuing double certification—certificates in both vocational and academic studies,” he said.

The VC urged the newly admitted students to distinguish themselves through character, discipline, and integrity, describing them as a “remarkable set”.

Akindele also enjoined the students to remain focused, staying true to the ideals and rules of the university.
