UNN Set to Honour Pioneer Graduates

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka,  is  planning a week-long ceremony to     honour its pioneer Graduates as part of  the events to mark the 2013     founder's day of the Institution. The  ceremony is expected to run  from    October 2-7, 2013.

It will be recalled that the doors of the University were opened to 220 students in 1960, while 150 of them graduated in 1963.

Inaugurating      the committee on 50th anniversary of 1st graduates of the  University    of  Nigeria, Monday, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof Bartho  Okolo said that    the  it was a thing of honour for the University to  have produced its    first  graduates three years after it was  established in 1960, and  will  therefore be pleased to honour its  pioneer graduates who started  its    journey to restoring the dignity  of man.

"I hereby  inaugurate you    for the job of organising  the 50th anniversary of the  first graduates  of   the University of  Nigeria; I hope you will do this  with your very   best.  We all know  your antecedents as men and women  of character and   purpose,  and we  are very optimistic that you will do  the job very well,     congratulations", he said.

Dr Ewurum, who was the President, National Alumni Association of the University of Nigeria, from 2001-2005, added that the uniqueness of the pioneer set was evident in their active involvement in the affairs of the University as four of them had served as national  Alumni Presidents out of the total of 10 presidents so far recorded by the alumni Association.
