University of Uyo Holds 2016/2017 Session Matriculation Ceremony.
No fewer than 10,926 students were admitted into the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) during the 2016/2017 academic session matriculation ceremony of the institution held on Saturday.
Speaking at the event, the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Enefiok Essien warned the new students against cultism and all activities that would be detrimental to their stay in the school.
He urged the students to live within the dictates of the school’s rules and regulations, warning that management would not hesitate to wield the big stick against non conformists.
He said, “I encourage you to remain positively adventurous throughout your university experience. More importantly, from this moment on, you will shed most of your childish nuances and youthful exuberance and devote your time and energy to your studies.
“What this means is that you must have the right priorities, with your education at the very top. Remember that there will be no bell to ring, no parent to wake you up from bed or monitor your movement.
“What you need is to be disciplined enough to get prepared for your lectures and other positive social activities on time”, he added.
Highlight of the ceremony was the administration of the Matriculation oath on the freshers by the university registrar.
