The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Rotimi Ajayi, FNIP, led other
principal officers of the
University to meet with the
Executives of the Crawford

as they made a presentation of
some items to the University.

The donated items were two
generating set (for the hostels), ten
ceiling-fan, two solar street light,

the restaurant).

Our readers would
also recall that the
parents
body have recently
handed over the big
directional billboard at
Atan junction to the
University as part of
the annual support
project they undertake
for the University.

While returning appreciation for the magnanimity of the
parents, the Vice Chancellor said
the parents’ body has for long
remained and continued to be
valued stakeholders of the
University.

He praised their efforts
in time, labour and energy
expended in finding out what may
be the pressing need of the students
and the school, and taking concrete
steps in filling that gap for the
University.

He thereafter prayed
that the Lord would keep, protect
and prosper them even as He
makes them realize their utmost
expectations on their children.
In a short interview thereafter, the Secretary of the body, Dr.
Bartholomew Onyekwere remarked that the major priority of
the CUPAF Executive has long remained the welfare of their
children as they are studying in the University.

“CUPAF”, he
said, “will continue to play its vital role by extending hand of
cooperation to the University management in its quest to
implement its mandate of building up the lives of our children”.
