The Management of Ekiti State University (EKSU) in Ado‑Ekiti, Nigeria, acting through the Office of the Registrar, Notifications and Certificates Division, has released an official notice instructing every graduating student to submit a current passport‑style photograph before the university’s 31st Convocation ceremony.

All students slated to attend the upcoming 31st Convocation are mandated to upload a recent passport photograph via the university’s online portal, adhering strictly to the specifications outlined below.

Passport Photograph Requirements

• Formal attire must be worn in the picture.
• The image should be a colour photograph saved in JPEG, JPG or PNG format.
• The photograph must be borderless, with no visible frame.
• Required dimensions are 35 mm wide by 45 mm high (3.5 cm × 4.5 cm).
• The picture must be an original, unedited capture; any digital manipulation using Photoshop or similar software is prohibited.

To guarantee full compliance, final‑year students are strongly urged to visit the University ICT Centre without delay and complete the photograph upload on the portal.

The Management stressed that only after this step is successfully finished will certificates be prepared and handed out to graduates during the Convocation ceremony.

Students are therefore instructed to finish the upload on or before Monday, 30 November 2026, to avoid any penalties or complications that could arise from non‑compliance.

Copies of the circular have also been sent to the Vice‑Chancellor and the Registrar for their records.

All graduating students are hereby asked to treat this directive with the highest priority and ensure they meet the deadline promptly.
