“This year has been very challenging but still fruitful,” he said while answering question on the activities in the university in the year under review.
I thank God and my prayer is that we all will go home peacefully and return peacefully to continue from where we stopped.
“God has been very faithful to the University. Even though we lost some staff, which is natural, He has been protecting us. It is not easy travelling to Agbani from Enugu on daily basis but God protected us throughout the year.
“The staff members were outstanding despite one two issues, the students also did their best. The host communities remained partners in progress.
“I am very happy because within the space of two years we have been here, ESUT had no strike, everything has been going seamlessly. I thank the labour unions for being with the management always because we have not had any challenge with the labour unions in the past two years we came on board. The relationship has been very cordial.
“I equally thank the Vice Chancellor because he is a visionary leader and a father who listens to cries of the people under his care,” he said,
He however reminded the staff that more works ahead f the quest of achieving the management’s dream of making the university a beckon of academic excellent must be achieved.
“I thank God and my prayer is that we all will go home peacefully and return peacefully to continue from where we stopped.”
As the school officially vacates for yuletide celebrations, it is hoped that both staff and students would continue to imbibe the good morals inculcated in them and remain good ambassadors of the university.
