This was followed by the Vice Chancellor’s speech. In his speech, he expressed his ‘gratitude to God for making this dream come true. He congratulated all the
students and encouraged them to take their studies seriously as graduation
certificate will be given to only students who deserved it.

He added that the inspiration to encourage the take off of this course in our
university came as a result of his experience in Austria where you must have a
certificate for any kind of job you do to earn a living there such as a cook, a
cleaner, a gardener etc. Before he ended his speech he said that the name – GPN –
meaning Godfrey Professional Nanny will be on the ID card of each of the student.
