He said, "I commend you on the successful hosting of this joint convocation. Let me particularly pay special tribute to the Vice Chancellor, Professor Nyaudoh Ndaeyo on his strides since assumption of office. You're not just a pacesetter but a shinning and worthy ambassador of all of us and as the saying goes, a good job done means more jobs to be done. We know and trust that you will excel."

"Our administration will continue to work with the University of Uyo and indeed all other Universities and tertiary institutions in the state."

The University of Uyo Chancellor, Alhaji Abubakar Adamu Maje, CON, also felicitated the graduands and charged them not to see their academic attainment as an end, but a means to an end and challenged them to think out of the box of white collar jobs and launch themselves into the present world of innovation, resourcefulness and creativity.
