with the ideals for which you are
known.

“I am here this time on the occasion
of the honour done to me by

pointing me Chancellor of the
University of Benin.

“Your Excellency, for me, it is a
matter of deep pride to be associated
with this city and this state and this
particular university, and, I can as­
sure you we will do our best to
ensure we bring as much
development as we can and to

initiatives in the area of empow­
erment of rural people.

We remember the laudable legacies
that your highness left behind as the

as UNIBEST and I am sure under
your leadership, it would witness
even more growth and development
and Edo as a community will
continue to benefit from the
activities of the university.”
