Addressing the students, he said that students should look at themselves as very special people, because they were trained to think positively and that they were expected to work very hard to maintain high standards and become visible. "Be independent, think critically, open your ears very well, have facts and figures and do not argue with your lecturers blindly, always think outside the box by going beyond what has been taught by your lecturers", he added.
He encouraged students to believe in themselves and to be able to act independently. He told them that, it was hoped that at the end of the course, students could boldly move out to work and have knowledge in all disciplines. According to him,
MUCG was bent on training students to have enough training in the mind and that MUCG would use information technology to enhance teaching and learning. To him, students must be instilled with true university culture where independent minds could interact. "We want you to be scholars", he added.
