According to him, many reasons informed this year’s celebration, “we are having our convocation ceremony for the third consecutive time when many universities in the country couldn’t hold theirs, we are happy that we are having ours. When we started, we thought it was not going to work out but today, here we are. That is the reason for this thanksgiving service”, he added.
Also speaking, the Chairman, Senate Ceremonial Committee, Prof Macson Ahiakwo expressed happiness to God for his providence in the university, adding that the church service was held to reciprocate and appreciate God’s favour in the institution.
Earlier in his sermon at the church service, Pastor Prince Echem,who spoke on the theme “Except the Lord Builds “urged people to always rely on and trust God in all their dealings, adding that everybody will give account of their stewardship.
Pastor Echem urged public office holders to diligently discharge every responsibility entrusted to them with fear of God, adding that without God, there will be no opportunity for service.
He commended the management of the institution for appreciating God’s intervention in the university and assured them of more favours ahead.
