Central University welcomes over 200 students.

The administration of the central university has during the university's matriculation ceremony welcomed over 200 students and urged them to treat their academic work seriously.

Matriculation is the formal process through which students are officially welcomed into a university or college after fulfilling certain academic requirements.

Speaking to a galaxy of students, lecturers, parents, and well-wishers Professor Bob Karankay Conteh, Vice Chancellor welcomed the parents of the matriculants to exercise patience with their children. He said it is challenging to keep a student in the university, considering the current economic conundrum of the country. He said CU-SL will do everything humanly possible to give the students the very best in their academic pursuits.

Professor Conteh urged the students to behave themselves in the best possible way. As students, professor Conteh advised that they should allow the university to go through them. The matriculation he said is a very important day for every student because it is the day that their names were going to be signed in the university book.

Mohamed Chernoh Kamara, President of the Central University Students' Union Government, highlighted the various student groups that are legally registered with his government.
