“You have the right to say no to sexual advancement and molestation, I am a mother and we as parents did not send our children to be feasted upon by old men, but to be protected.
We have centres you can report to, like the Centre for Gender Studies, Guidance and Counselling, as well as, some Youth Friendly Hubs.”

The University Administrator urged the students to be humble, well-dressed, polite and respectful to the staff of the University, this is even as she prayed for God’s guidance.

Also speaking, the Registrar, Mr Gabriel O. Egbe who spoke on “University Policies, Rules and Students Discipline”, said it is a tradition for the university to bring together freshmen to expose them to the basic policies, rules and regulations of the University, as well as, other range of services and privileges available to them as significant members of the University Community.

Mr Egbe said policies, rules and regulations are made to achieve certain ends intended to benefit all, this is even as he said the university is a corporate entity comprising the student, staff and Management.

He also urged the staff to play by the rules and regulations of the University which are geared towards actualising the mission and vision of the University, adding that, the University can be comparable to any other within and outside the country.

The Registrar further admonished the freshmen to imbibe the culture of self-discipline to win that “prestigious prize” which is the certificate, adding that, they should not relent in their determination to excel.

Earlier, the Dean, of Student Affairs, Dr Anthony Eyang while welcoming the freshmen to the institution, tasked them to hearken to the already laid down foundation for the task ahead. Dr Eyang assured the students that the institution is blessed with a dynamic Vice Chancellor that has put all that is needed in place to make them excel in their academic performance urging them to maximise the opportunity given to become better alumni/ambassadors of their alma mater and our dear country.

She is absolutely right..

I read Mathematics

I can't remember when I ate 3 times a day in school

HarlequinLekex:
That is because you learnt it the hard way, learning in a school doesn't need all these suffering na. Africans believe going to school or uni means going there to read all day, practicality is what education is and not reading every now and then.

SpatialKing:
Not the hard way bro...
Is just like someone into programming
Sometimes you get so carried away when writing those lines of codes that you don't bother about lunch

Bontafa:
Nigeria na very useless place with senseless people untop.

Oyibo dey eat 3 square meal yet even your first class graduate can't complete with them in the field without them giving you training.

They eat 3 square meal eat chips join .

They keep their hair the way they want.

They wear what they want .

Cursed Africans find shallow things to feel good .

Computer science oyibo student when dey wear short nikar without slippers to workshop naim produce Apple phone (Steve jobs).


Wetting all the hungry Nigerian student with one square meal produce ?

budaatum:
Not if one intends to invest in oneself at least, or presumes one can eat with one's eyes and mind.

Serious students are likely to eat two meals and spend the third on a book they eat with their eyes and mind.

Only the wilful ignorant feed their belly alone. Those who will live feed their minds.
