President Barrow presided over the 12th convocation ceremony of UTG at QCity on Saturday. Hundreds of students drawn from all ten schools of UTG participated in the ceremony.

“Convocations are unique moments in the lives of students and often marks the point of separation between student and al matat [sic],” Mr Barrow said.
