UNIPORT VC Tasks Fresh Students On Hardwork …As Varsity Matriculates 8,205
The Vice Chancellor of the University of Port Harcourt, Prof Adowa Lale has urged newly admitted students of the university to be studious while undergoing their academic career in the university.
He made this call in his speech during the 39th matriculation ceremony of the university at the university convocation arena held in Port Harcourt.
He disclosed that the admission was based on the procedures stipulated by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), adding that the school admitted 8,205 out of 39,175 candidates that applied for admission in the university and advised them to commit themselves to abide by the rules and regulations of the university.
According to him “their academic journey had just begun and there was no short-cut to achieve success in the university and urged them to engage in reading as they are expected to prove themselves in the global world”.
He encouraged all the successful newly admitted students to ensure they signed their matriculation register and added that without such, they would not be recognised as students of the institution.
Lale further advised them to be self-disciplined and not to engage themselves in examination malpractise, cultism, fighting, prostitution and all illegal activities in the school and warned that anyone caught would be dismissed from the university.
The Uniport VC encouraged them to affect each other positively and be up and doing in order to be good ambassadors of the institution and the society at large.
