The Federal University Ndufu-Alike Ikwo (FUNAI) admitted 1,500 fresh students during the 5th Matriculation ceremony of the institution held on Wednesday, 25th January, 2017.
Speaking at the event, the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Chinedum Nwajiuba congratulated the students on their admission.
The VC said: “To our freshmen, today’s matriculation ceremony marks your formal admission into the family of FUNAI- the Home of Soaring Eagles. By this event you have been officially admitted into the Federal University Ndufu-Alike Ikwo.
“You have earned a place at today’s matriculation because of your impressive grades and scores in both the Senior Secondary School Examinations and the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). You should be proud of this achievement.
“However, you should be humbled by the fact that only a little over 1,500 of you have been given this rare opportunity out of the nearly 9,000 candidates that competed for a place at FUNAI.”
The Vice Chancellor further charged the students to avoid all manner of campus attractions and face their studies squarely to avoid regrets at the end.
“You have now been given the time and chance to study in this University. Do not misuse it. Embark on rewarding activities and avoid the so called campus attraction”, he said.
The highpoint of the matriculation ceremony was an oath of loyalty by the freshmen to abide by the University’s rules and regulations and a pledge to appreciate and cherish her ideals, as well as the signing of matriculation register at their various faculties.
