On behalf of the first NUC team, Prof. Edosomwan thanked the Vice-Chancellor for his visit to their hotel the previous day, which, according to him, was a rare gesture that he had not experienced before in his long years of service. He also expressed his delight at the institution’s stance on character building and spiritual soundness of the students, which is lacking in most tertiary institutions nowadays.
