The DEFENDER has gathered from sources that the prestigious University of Ilorin will hold its 33rd Convocation on October 21, this year.
The sources quoted the Registrar of the institution, Mr. Dada Emmanuel, to have said.
According to the sources, the registrar in a statement on Friday in Ilorin said the convocation would include the award of Degrees and Diplomas as well as prizes to deserving graduates.
