No fewer than 22 students are expected to graduate with first class honours at the combined convocation ceremonies of the University of Uyo (UNIUYO), Uyo, Akwa Ibom State this weekend.
Addressing reporters at the Council Chambers ahead of the event billed for Saturday, the vice chancellor, Professor Enefiok Essien (SAN), said a total of 8,012 would be awarded certificates, diplomas and degrees of the institution.
The 22nd and 23rd combined ceremonies, according to Essien, would cover graduands of the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 sessions.
Essien, a professor of Commercial Law, who was named as the vice chancellor on December 1, 2015, said his administration has a lot to share as achievements in the last two years.
These, according to him, include effective internal mechanisms to address issues capable of degenerating into crises among all unions on the campus, stressing that such interventions have brought peace and stability to the institution.
The vice chancellor said his administration in the last two years had been able to update teaching and learning infrastructures which prompted the National Universities Commission (NUC) and other regulatory agencies to give clean bill to 18 out of 24 academic programmes.
