The gynaecologist consultant at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH) stated that the students can visit the library complex at regular intervals to access the books to aid their studies.

 In his words, “We have  plans  to make a donation of such books to the state library.

“We can have a section where these books will be kept so that young ones who may not have the finances to buy such books can go there from time to time to access the books at regular intervals. That will help them in their studies”. He maintained”.

He said that the alumni under his watch shall distribute learning and reading materials to secondary students and others pursuing similar programmes that the members of the alumni studied.

In his remarks the association’s Secretary General, Francis Ekok, who spoke in company of the immediate past president of the  state branch of Uniport Alumni Association, Victor Edim Esq assured that the alumni will embark on a membership drive to gather its alumni in the state irrespective of their locations.
