Abuja, April 2026 – The Director of Media and Public Relations, Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Mr. Celestine Toruka, and his wife, Mrs. Dominica Toruka, were among graduands at the 15th Convocation Ceremony of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), held this weekend at the university’s headquarters in Jabi, Abuja.
The ceremony drew families and well-wishers who converged to celebrate with their loved ones.
Mr. Toruka was conferred with a Master of Science in Mass Communication, while Mrs. Toruka earned a Master of Arts in English Language.
The couple’s joint graduation marks the culmination of years of academic rigor. Colleagues describe the achievement as remarkable, noting that not all who commenced the programmes alongside them completed the course of study.
Navigating NOUN’s demanding academic structure is challenging for one individual, let alone two pursuing postgraduate studies concurrently. Notably, the Torukas did not begin their programmes in the same year, yet completed them simultaneously.
Their success underscores the value of hard work, determination, and perseverance. The couple’s commitment to pursuing excellence despite competing professional and family demands has been described as exemplary and worthy of emulation.
The Torukas’ achievement reflects purposeful planning and dogged resolve to make a mark in academia while serving in public office.
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Celestine Toruka on this uncommon academic milestone.
