The service which is organized by the Chaplaincy and Life Values Promotion centre is to bring all members of the university together in worship. Present at the service were the Dean of Students, faculty Members, and some Senior and Junior staff Members. The University Chaplain, Rev. E. Y Blasu, preached the sermon on the theme \u201cChrist our example\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The President, taking inspiration from Hebrews 6:1-3, advised both senior and junior members of the university to grow onto maturity. \u201cGrowth is a natural phenomenon and God expects us to grow. Our University is not just growing but maturing\u201d he intimated.<\/p>\n<p>He further challenged staff and Student leaders to use their positions to work assiduously to bring innovation in the way of doing things in the University. He also cautioned all to eschew all behaviours that smacks of indiscipline.<\/p>\n<p>The president entreated all and sundry to move away from the basics since it is the triumph card for growing into maturity.<\/p>\n<p>Also, as part of the service, the Dean of Students affairs inaugurated the newly elected General Assembly of the Students\u2019 Representative Council.
