The Federal University Ndufu-Alike Ikwo finally celebrated
her 3rd Matriculation ceremony on the 10th day of December 2014. The event was
the 3rd of its kind in the history of the university as freshmen were sworn in
to the university system. Present at the great event were dignitaries from
different spheres of life in academia. Among which was The Vice Chancellor
Distinguished Professor Oye Ibidapo-Obe ( OFR, FAS, FAENG), The Registrar,
Deans of Faculties, HODs, DAP, Staffs, Students, Matriculating students,
guests, just to mention but a few.
Though it was a moment of elation, but on the side of the
aspirants, (who beyond all odds hoped against hope for the release of the third
admission list), it was a moment of frustration and tears of pain and not of
joy, as the commencement of the matriculation gave a big hut to their faith.
Though a 200 Level student of Funai, I also found myself buried
in pathetic mood while those calls came, both on Whatsapp they came asking
whether there was still hope of third list even at the 11th hour. But as a
motivator I bade them never to give up, though Matriculation day was now counting
down in hours. Before our bare eyes, the third list aspirants were denied
admission due to unreasonable accommodation issue.
To those beloved Funai aspirants who never made it in the
2014/2015 session, I say “It is not yet over until it is over”, “Remover the
sadness, rise up and make your obstacles your stepping stones”. “To Asogwa
Victoria, to you aspirant, it is not over. Pick up the Jamb form; go dust your
Jamb past question and start afresh. My motivation; Thomas Edison failed 999
times and gave us ELECTRIC BULB. “
Come 2015 Funai will admit up to a thousand beating its past
record. I make this statement in view of the progress of the multiple
accommodation process going on in the University permanent site. Since Funai
admission is tagged to accommodation available, then there would be more people
to be admitted next year than ever before.
I always remain your friend: OMAKA De HOD form the Computer
Science Department of the prestigious University; Federal University
Ndufu-Alike Ikwo, P.M.B. 1010, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.

Utme, and Campus saga. Jesus loves you…Remain blessed.
