UNIUYO Students' Support Scheme Inauguration

The Hope Team @ Inauguration

The Management of the University of Uyo has over time observed that there is a large number of indigent students who are otherwise bright, sometimes academically outstanding, but whose low socio-economic status renders them incapable of supporting themselves through their studies in the University. There is a great need to salvage such students from waste for lack of funds. To do this, Management has conceptualized a scheme tagged “The Hope Scheme”, designed to see to it that no student of the University of Uyo with a promising academic prospect is allowed to waste and unable to graduate for reasons of economic disadvantage.

IMLD 2014

Our languages are very important and special. They may appear complicated, but such complications make them unique. They have to be empowered to take their place in the league of languages and claim their global citizenship. The 15th edition of the International Mother Language Day is celebrated today, 21st of February 2014. The theme: ‘Local languages for global citizenship: Spotlight on Science’, emphasizes participation in globalization, where ideally such interaction should involve ‘sharing’. If we cannot share because we do not have the tools, then we may end up being colonized again by those who have what to share. Let us therefore empower our languages. Let us do it together because we all have roles to play in the empowerment enterprise. Let us empower them so that we can share them as global citizens, bearing in mind that in the galaxy of languages, every word is a star. Happy International Mother Language Day.
