He asked them to take advantage of every opportunity that comes their way in school  and society, and always show love and respect to their parents and lecturers.

The Dean told them to build valuable networks as they formed part of the building blocks through which they could progress in society.

He reminded the students to make good use of their time and urged them not to waste time on unnecessary things but rather use their time profitably.
