Elom added that the matriculation marks the beginning of a new phase in their lives.

He said: “What you will end up with and how you will end up depends on how serious you take your academic activities.

One of the students, Chukwu Igwe, said he was delighted to be one of the students admitted into the university.

Igwe pledged to be a good student and urged his colleagues to abide by the university’s rules and regulations.
