Get ready for a very special celebration! Al-Hikmah University in Ilorin, Nigeria, has just shared some big news. It is time for the 29th Matriculation Ceremony. This university is very famous because it was the very first Islamic faith-based university in the whole country.

If you are a new student who just got admitted, this day is all about you! It is a day of smiles, big robes, and new promises as you officially become a part of the university family.

When and Where is the Big Day?

You will want to make sure your family and friends know exactly where to go so they can see you walk onto the stage. Here are the details you should save:

• The Date: Friday, 30th January 2026.

• The Time: 10:00 a.m. Sharp (It is very important to be in your seat before the clock strikes ten!)

• The Venue: The University Auditorium.

The University Auditorium is a large, beautiful building on the campus where the most important meetings happen. Because this is the 29th time the school has done this, they know exactly how to make it a wonderful and organized morning for everyone.

What Happens During Matriculation?

You might be asking, “What does ‘Matriculation’ actually mean?” Think of it like a “Signing Day” for a sports team. Before this day, you were just someone who was invited to the school. After this ceremony, you are an official student.

During the event, you will do something called an induction. This means you will stand up with all the other new students and take an oath. You will promise to follow the rules of Al-Hikmah University, to study hard, and to be a good person. This ceremony is the “Green Light” that says your academic journey has officially started!

Getting Ready for the Ceremony

To make sure you have the best day ever, here are a few simple things you can do to prepare:

1. Pick Up Your Gown: Most matriculation ceremonies require you to wear a special academic robe. Make sure you check with your faculty office a few days before Friday to get yours.

2. Arrive Early: Since the ceremony starts at 10:00 a.m., you should try to be at the Auditorium by 9:00 a.m. This gives you time to find your friends and take pictures before the serious part begins.

3. Invite Your Loved Ones: This is a proud moment for your parents and guardians. Make sure they know the time so they can find a good seat to watch you.

4. Follow the Rules: Al-Hikmah is a faith-based university, which means they love it when students are respectful and dress neatly.

Why Al-Hikmah is Special

By joining Al-Hikmah University, you are joining a school that cares about two things: Learning and Morality. This means they don’t just want you to be smart; they want you to be a kind and honest leader too. Starting your journey with the 29th Matriculation Ceremony is a great way to show that you are ready to grow and learn.

We are so happy for all the “freshers” who will be taking their oath this Friday. It is the first step toward becoming a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, or whatever big dream you have in your heart!
