“The Students are well-spaced and there are two or three invigilators in the halls. Mass Communication is using three classrooms for one examination, that is excellence. They are setting the pace for others to follow,” Prof Nwoha said while providing answer to why they visited the department.

“We don’t want to see anybody hanging on vehicles just because you are celebrating. We don’t want to lose any of you. When you finish you exams, go home and celebrate with your people. We want you to go for youth service immediately and thereafter come back for your Masters or find a good job. We want you to succeed,” he told the final students.
