Skyline University Nigeria (SUN) has today, 12th July, 2024, conducted a guest lecture series for level 100 spring semester students currently on campus. The session was organized to enable the students to gain invaluable knowledge from industry experts.
In his brief introduction to the students during the session, the Vice-Chancellor of SUN, Prof. Ajith Kumar V. V., encouraged the students to make the best use of available resources on campus to build a prosperous future. He said there are online opportunities at their disposal that can help them develop the best version of themselves and enrich their communities.

Delivering his lecture, Mr. Unnikrishnan Narayanan, the general manager of Skyline International Tourism and Hospitality Limited, said he is pleased to be at the campus of SUN to connect with the students while expressing his joy to share his life experiences.
“I have learned that it is important to be confident in whatever career you choose. In every pathway you choose, deliver it well,” he said. Mr. Narayanan painted a picture of how he navigated his journey in the hospitality industry for over 30 years.
He noted that every growth-oriented person must understand the three keys to success: passion, persistence and perseverance. He added that these are what experts currently look out for in youth. He made it clear that talent can only be supported by hard work for success.
Mr. Narayanan then advised the students to grasp every opportunity for growth.
