VC Tasks Varsity Staff On Recreational Activities
The Acting Vice Chancellor of the Rivers State University (RSU), Port Harcourt, Prof. Opuenebo Binya Owei, has stressed the importance of recreational activities to human development and has therefore charged staff of the institution to find time to relax after close of work each day in order to have a stress free life.
Prof. Owei gave the charge while speaking to members of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) at the Annual End of Year Get-Together / reception for newly employed staff of the Union.
The acting Vice Chancellor commended the leadership of the Union for sustaining the Annual End of Year Get-together, noting that the initiative gives members a sense of belonging and provides a platform for interaction and relaxation outside the working environment.
She assured the union that the management of the university will continue to work with her and other sister unions to ensure that the university remained on the path of steady growth.
In his remarks, the Chairman of SSANU, Comrade Cheta Azumah congratulated the newly employed staff on their appointment, calling on them to see it as an opportunity to serve.
Comrade Azumah admonished them to imbibe the attributes of humility and respect, stressing that it was the engaging approach to learning from their seniors and growing on the job.
On his part, the Registrar of the University, Mr. Sydney Enyindah, called on the old staff to be open to the new ones and mentor them.
He described SSANU as the most enviable union in the university, noting that her members work in every department in the institution.
“SSANU members should see those in the teaching cadre as their colleagues and not rivals”, he added.
