Adventist Students Unveil 16 Directional Signs At Varsity
The Seventh Day Adventist Students Fellowship’s at the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE), Port Harcourt has unveiled 16 directional signposts erected in the institution to add value to the campus.
The students said the erection of the signposts in the university was part of its public campus ministry observed worldwide by the church and to impact positively in the society.
Speaking shortly after the unveiling of the directional signposts at the university, recently, President, Port Harcourt Conference of Seventh Day Adventist Church, Pastor Anyalebechi Nnunu-kwe said the project was part of the fellowship community service to the university.
The clergy said the aim of the project was to assist to improve the welfare, environment and the sanitation of the campus.
The pastor said the erection of the signposts was part of its contributions towards the growth of the varsity and its environs.
He noted that the project was singlehandedly embarked on by the Seventh Day Adventist Students Fellowship on campus.
Nnunukwe, who described the project as wonderful, said, it cost the students some huge amount of naira to execute.
He charged Adventist students on campus to be disciplined and shun acts capable of tarnishing the image of the church and the society.
The clergy, who decried lack of worship centre on campus and writing of examinations on Saturdays by Adventist students as its challenges, appealed to the management of the school to provide a worship place on campus and have rethink on sitting for exams on Saturdays as it’s against their belief system.
Earlier, Chapter President, Seventh Day Adventist Student Fellowship, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE), Mr Eleberi Joseph said the students erected the signposts as a way of contributing to the society.
Joseph, a final year student in the Department of Chemistry, said the students’ fellowship was motivated to embark on the project due to its lack on campus.
The chapter President said the 16 directional signposts would guide movement of persons on campus and also add contour to the varsity.
