PREAMBLE & APPRECIATION
Dear gentlemen of the Press. I give God the praise for the opportunity given to me to host this event with great joy in the beginning of the year.
I welcome you all to the University of Uyo, an institution on a Mission, to enlighten not just Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria, but also the global community.
I am glad this event has given some of you a singular opportunity of visiting the four Campuses of the University and seeing things for yourselves, for seeing is believing.
In few occasions media persons have had to call me directly for information about the University or its programmes. This occasion will give us opportunity to interact and appreciate one another better as partners in the development of the outstanding Federal presence in Akwa Ibom State.
