Public Relations Officer Dr. Ekene Nwankwo and Acting Librarian Clifford Nwogwugwu noted that the Acting Rector prioritizes work-life balance, which contributes to overall staff well-being and efficiency.
In the football match, the teaching staff defeated their non-teaching counterparts 1-0, while the School of Agriculture won the march-past competition. The event concluded with a prize and trophy presentation.
