Students of Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) have been advised to make the library their second home.

University Librarian, Dr Uzoamaka Ogwo gave the advice during the orientation programme to mark ESUT’s 45^th Matriculation Ceremony.

Speaking on the topic: “Use of the University Library” Dr Ogwo explained that the library remains the warehouse of knowledge and urged the students to make it a habit by visiting it daily.

“The library is central to your academic being. Students who do not visit the library are considered not to be healthy academically. Library is the warehouse of knowledge because there you find answers to your research questions and acquire more knowledge.” she said.

She explained how students could register in the library and as well borrow books to read at home

“After paying your school fees, you are expected to present evidence of payment to the Library and you will be issued a card. The card gives you access to borrow books from the library to ready or do research for one month. 

“The difference between a first-class student and one who got third class is on how often you visited the library. Make the library you best friend. What you owe your parents and guardian is a good certificate at the end of your programme here and the library is your best friend in achieving that. Remember, today’s readers and tomorrow’s leaders,” she concluded.

The Department of Industrial Physics, Faculty of Physical Sciences, ESUT, recently organised orientation programme for the newly admitted students in the department while an alumnus of the department, Mr. Tochukwu Otiji   donated  five hundred thousand naira (N500, 000) to the newly admitted students.

The orientation provided an avenue for the lecturers, board members and students to interact on issues relating to conducts as well as enhancing effective teaching and learning.

 In his opening remarks, the Head of Department, Dr. Chima Iheanyichukwu Abraham, while congratulating the newly admitted students for choosing the best Department in the university, warned them that the euphoria over their admission is over and it was time for business.

“Let me congratulate all of you for choosing the best Department in the university. You are all welcome. Our desire in this Department is to encourage you to be the best you want to be and ensure that you walked in the right path. Your excitement of admission is over and with this orientation and your matriculation coming up in few days time, the reality is here, its time for work. Take your studies seriously and ensures you don’t involve yourselves in acts capable of ending your admissions prematurely.

“This orientation is intended to officially welcome you into the Department, introduce you to the Departments ethics, code of conducts and rules that will help you graduate as stipulated. You are also expected to get familiarised with your lecturers whom you will be meeting as you progress in your programme,” he said.

ESUT Agbani – As part of activities to mark the 44th Matriculation ceremony for fresh Students in ESUT on Friday, 21st February, 2025, management of the university will hold an orientation ceremony for the fresh students on Wednesday, February 19th, 2025
The management has warned that it any act of truancy from the fresh students will not be tolerated.

The Registrar, Mr Ambrose Ugwu who issued the warning on Tuesday, said that absenteeism from matriculation orientation is the reason the university is facing avoidable challenges from the students.
Mr Ugwu noted that several challenges witnessed in his office are often times mistakes made by students who refused to attend the orientation programme during their first year in the university.

“Orientation is a serious programme for year one or fresh students in the university. The management does not joke with it an as well, the students should take it seriously. Most of the challenges we are having today in the office is that during the time of orientation, you will not see the new students in the auditorium for you to tell them the university rules. Issues like a student in year one applying to change to another programme; you have just written a letter, you have not received approval but you have domiciled yourself in the new department of your choice. Your other years would be in the new department and when it’s time to compute your results, somebody will start asking ‘when did you enter the department, we don’t have any letter showing that you were admitted here.’

“You will see them coming to my office, with their parents, kneeling, crying and begging. University administration is not being run by sentiment. We have rules and regulations guiding the university. If you are sick or can’t pay school fees, you have to apply for voluntary withdrawal on the bases of incapacitation or financial difficulty.

“The other one is maybe you are rusticated or under probation and you have been issued a letter showing that you have been cleared, but you must apply for readmission. The challenges we are having now is that many students applied for deferment, it was not approved, after two or three years, they come back not knowing that deferment is done for a year and if there is anything that should cause you to stay more than a year, you have to reapply, to refresh your application. It is only during the orientation that these things would be explained to students. Some students will be in year four without having registration number. We have several instances.

“Help us to publicise it, let the fresh students come to the orientation and be acquainted with the necessary information they need to guide them in the university. There will be consequences for fresh students who failed to turn up,” he stated.

The 44th Matriculation Orientation Programme will hold at the Barr Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah Multipurpose Auditorium, ESUT, starting from 9am.

ESUT Monitor will broadcast the orientation, LIVE.
