CU resumes academic activities after
Christmas/New Year break
Covenant University resumed academic activities on
Wednesday, January 02, 2008 after a three-and-a-half week
Shiloh/Christmas holiday break. The University campus
started bubbling with live as early as 7 am when students,
who were warmly received at their halls of residence by
faculty and staff, started arriving with great excitement
and expectations for the New Year.
In a welcome assembly organized at the University Chapel
to usher staff and students into the New Year, the Vice
Chancellor, Prof Aize Obayan, led members of the University
community in a praise and worship session to appreciate God
for His sustenance and journey mercies during the break as
well as thanking Him for His awesome help throughout last
year that culminated into outstanding achievements for the
University. The University community also prayed for God’s
continuous grace upon management, faculty, staff and
students of Covenant University in the New Year.
In her welcome address at the occasion,
the Vice Chancellor, who welcomed the students on behalf of
the Chancellor, Dr David Oyedepo, Management, faculty and
staff of the University, declared with enthusiasm that the
Lord would give the University community a lot to smile
about in the New Year, especially as God has declared
prophetically through His servant and Chancellor of Covenant
University, that this year we will all soar ‘On the Eagles
Wings.’

She went ahead to give a brief
descriptions of the unique qualities of an Eagle bird and
said it was not a mistake that Covenant University is in the
business of releasing eagle leaders as graduates, adding
that the prophesy was a clear signal of God’s agenda for the
University in 2008. She therefore urged every one to
maximize the opportunity by positioning themselves to soar
to greater heights in their respective endeavours.
Other Principal Officers of the University, including the
Registrar, Yemi Nathaniel; the Dean of College of Human
Development, Prof Charles Ogbulogo; the Dean of College of
Science and Technology, Prof James Katende and the Dean of
Student Affairs, Dr Daniel Rotimi also welcomed the student
back on campus.
While praying for a successful year, the Associate Chaplain,
Pastor James Muyiwa, who stood in for the University
Chaplain, Pastor Seyi Macaulay, urged members of the
University community to yield their hearts to God and
observe His ways in order to enjoy His bumper blessings for
the new year.
Meanwhile, lectures begin tomorrow, Thursday, January 03,
2008 while revisions for Alpha Semester examinations will
commence next week. |
