Presenting the guests to Prof. Sunday Elom, Dr. Nwudu pointed out that she knew about the organization in Lagos during one of the programmes they hosted there and thereafter requested for their support to the University, to which they gladly accepted. Consequently, the organization visited the University sometime in March, 2019, to donate medical equipment, quantity of malaria, blood pressure and asthma drugs, wheel Chairs, eyeglasses, among other items. Dr. Nwudu further said that she got another call from the President, Rev. Dike, asking her to put together a list of hospital equipment needed in the school clinic, so he could make provision for some, which was one of the reasons they visited.
