The Anglican Bishop of the Diocese of Lagos West, the Rt. Rev. James Odedeji, has urged 78 graduating students of the Diocese of Lagos West Vocational and Skills Acquisition Centre to uphold integrity as they pursue their careers and life aspirations.
According to a statement made available to PUNCH Online on Friday, speaking at the second graduation ceremony of the centre held at the Caroline Adefiola Adebiyi Conference Centre, Ipaja, Lagos, Odedeji described vocational training as a challenging but rewarding journey, stressing that success in any profession requires patience, integrity, punctuality, respect for others and teamwork.
While acknowledging the importance of certificates, the bishop said they should not be seen as the ultimate measure of achievement.
“A certificate can be placed in a folder, but the real value of functional training is reflected in the trainee’s capacity, confidence, consistency, character and competence,” he said.
