UNIUYO matriculates 8,120 students

The Vice Chancellor of the University of Uyo (UNIUYO), Akwa Ibom State, Prof. Enefiok Essien, has warned the 8,120 matriculating students to live within the dictates of the school’s rules and regulations, stressing that the university management would not hesitate to wield the big stick against non-conformists.

“…You are to submit to duly constituted authorities of the University, to shun cultism and to obey the rules and regulations governing the University”, he warned.

It was at the 23rd in the series of the institution’s matriculation ceremonies for the 201516 academic year held on Tuesday at the campus of the University, along Ikpa Road, Uyo, the state capital.

Essien, a Professor of Commercial Law, while declaring the ceremony open, assured the new students that the university as the centre for teaching, research and manpower development, was committed to the social contract of training them to become experts in various fields.

But asked the students to reciprocate by adhering to the norms, values and ethical standards put in place by the University community, as part of the regulatory regime -to check the excesses of students and other members of the institution.
