UNICAL Set to Graduate 10,820 Students at 38th Convocation; 52 Achieve First-Class Honours

The University of Calabar (UNICAL) has announced its 38th Convocation Ceremony, where a total of 10,820 students will be conferred with various degrees and diplomas. Among the graduating cohort, 52 students distinguished themselves by earning First-Class honours.

Professor Offiong expressed his optimism that the convocation would highlight the university’s academic rigour and growth on a global scale. "We are hopeful that our stakeholders and partners will broadcast our noble intentions globally," he remarked.

The week-long celebration will include an interdenominational service, a research fair and exhibition, and a command performance. A key highlight of the ceremony is the Convocation Lecture, titled “Redefining National Security in an Era of Endemic Insecurity: The Role of Tertiary Institutions,” which will be delivered by Major General Garba Ayodeji Wahab (Rtd), PhD.

The festivities will culminate in the award of diplomas and a gala night specifically organised to honour the university’s new PhD graduates.
