The pioneer Senate President of University of Uyo Student Union Government Senator Emediong Uwemedimoh Ibanga has been offered automatic employment on graduation, this is courtesy of the Speaker of Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly Rt. Hon. Barr. Onofiok Luke.
The Speaker made the pronouncement when the Senate President led his colleagues to observe plenary with legislators of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly on Tuesday 22nd March , and was thereafter granted audience on courtesy call to the Speaker to brief him on their planned Parliamentary Week coming up in May.
In response, Barrister Luke who was high on emotion, confessed that his dream has come true, the dream of a new generation of credible leaders in the student cadre. He said the offer of employment is coming on the heels of the demeanor, intelligence and eloquence in use of grammar from the parliamentary glossary by the Student’s Senate President.
The Speaker commended the entire senate for conducting themselves well, admonishing them to see their current office in school as a platform to prepare them for leadership positions in the outer world. He also seized the opportunity to enlighten them on Akwa Ibom Internship Scheme which is the first in the country.
In emphasizing his support, he said ‘I will be a hypocrite if I don’t do to the student community what I expected from elders outside the school community while I was the President of the Students Union, so be guaranteed of my support’.
While eulogizing the personality of the school head, the speaker encouraged the students parliament to ensure a good working relationship with the current Vice Chancellor Professor Enefiok Essien, describing him as a noble man with integrity. He urged the students not be distracted by unionism enough to neglect their academics, which is the primary reason for being in school.
