The University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Wednesday admitted 4251 into its various programmes from the list of about 20,000 candidates that applied to the institution.
The Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Comfort Ekpo, said though the matriculation was the 18th in the history of the institution, it was the first time she was overseeing the university’s matriculation as the VC.
Ekpo said the 2011 programmes would concentrate on entrepreneurship education as a tool for self-reliance. She said the era where graduates went about looking for employment was over as the school had embarked on entrenching entrepreneurial programme in the school’s curriculum.
She said, “Commencing from 2011/2012 academic session, University of Uyo will expose all her students to entrepreneurship education that will lead the recipients into wealth creation and self-reliance on graduation. You are well-positioned to be the product of our vision.”
Ekpo warned that the university had zero tolerance for examination mal-practice, adding that the newly admitted students had been warned to desist from such practice.
She advised the students to study hard for their examinations as involvement in cultism never guaranteed anybody success in examinations.
