Speaking at the matriculation event on Monday, the President of the University, Margie Ensign, said that the university was committed toward supporting less privileged intellectual students to actualised their dreams.
“The university is strategising toward supporting the orphans and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in North-East region devastated by insurgency.
