The CAN president  prayed for God’s guidance and  wisdom upon the acting VC  and her team in the university as well as for peace and spiritual growth of the University

She expressed gratitude to His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Wike, for the opportunity  given her to  serve as the First female Acting Vice Chancellor of the University ,adding that the appointment came as a surprise .
She promised  to do her best in  lunching  the premier University to global reckoning, even as she asked the church to pray fervently for peace and growth in the University.
