The vice-chancellor, who also serves as secretary-general of the Association of West African Universities, highlighted Easter’s significance in honouring Christ’s greatness.

He praised the strong bond between Muslims and Christians within the university community, describing it as exemplary and essential for peace and unity.

The vice-chancellor wished Christian members of the university and beyond a peaceful, joyful, and fulfilling Easter celebration.
