Fed Varsity Wukari Matriculates Over 3,000 Students, Embarks On Construction Of Two New Hostels In Teaching Hospital

 

Over three thousand students have been officially matriculated into the various academic programmes of the Federal University Wukari for the 2024/2025 academic session.

The matriculation ceremony, which marked the climax of the enrollment process, took place at the Geoffrey Okogba Lecture Theatre, Wukari, Taraba State.

 

Speaking at the event, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Jude Rabo Sammani, described the ceremony as a significant milestone for his administration.

 

He noted that it was the fifth matriculation exercise since he assumed office as the third Vice Chancellor of the institution — and also his last, as he prepares to complete his tenure.

 

Professor Sammani stated that the newly admitted students were carefully selected based on merit and in line with the institution's admission quota.

 

He congratulated them on the successful commencement of their academic journey and encouraged them to make the most of the opportunity.

 

He urged the students to apply all the lessons learned during the orientation programme, especially the importance of discipline and obedience to constituted authority.

 

He warned them against engaging in social vices such as cultism, drug abuse, sexual immorality, drunkenness, and examination malpractice, stressing that such behaviors could derail their academic and personal dreams.

 

"A degree certificate will only be awarded to students who are found worthy in both character and learning," he emphasized.

 

Professor Sammani assured that the university management is committed to providing an enabling environment for academic excellence.

 

He announced that two new hostels are currently under construction at the university's teaching hospital to ease accommodation challenges.

 

On security, he said proactive measures have been taken to safeguard the lives of students and staff both within and outside the campus.
