Udom Emmanuel, governor of Akwa Ibom state, has asked the political class to be “circumspect in the rules of engagement in an already toxic atmosphere so as not to further disunite the country”.
Emmanuel gave the advice at the 25th convocation ceremony of the University of Uyo, held at the main campus of the institution in Uyo.
He congratulated the graduates for the successful completion of their academic pursuit while paying glowing tributes to the school management, the vice chancellor and the institution’s senate for promoting academic excellence, aiming to make the institution one of the best in the country.
The governor commended the stakeholders in the academic community for the “passion and commitment to make the institution a sought after citadel of learning”.
He said any nation bound to succeed must look at the cost of churning out graduates who would be able to explore and harness their Inert potentials to achieve success.
The governor applauded the honorees: John Mommoh, chairman of Channels Television, and his wife, Martha Emmanuel, his wife, for being conferred honorary doctorate degrees by the university.
