According to him, “About fifty (50) students of Rivers State in IAUE are physically challenged and at the moment ten (10) students of Rivers State in IAUE have come crying to us that they are at the verge of losing their stay in school on the ground of gross financial ineptitude,” he said.

He urged them to see education as a way to success, stressing that education affects aspects of society.
Also speaking, Mr Harry Enoch of Global and Environmental Initiative also called on the new students to pursue excellence in their academic career.
According to him, they must think of what they want to be in life.
Also speaking, Dr Tambari Gbeneol urged the students to take their studies seriously.
Dr Gbeneol said the students should focus on things that brought them to the university and avoid things that will bring shame to their families, and also commended the union for the regular orientation programme for students.
High point of the event was the presentation of awards to some personalities, including Chief ThankGod Mark, Kadilo .B. Kabari, Dr Tombari Gbeneol, Comrade Leton D. Ndoo and Comrade Bestman Nelson Nnadi as well as Comrade Uebari Evans.
