The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ebobrah speaking during the Visit appreciated the Ofoni community for the warm reception received by the UAT. He also seized the opportunity to extent his sincere appreciation to the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, His Excellency Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo who is also a son of Ofoni Community. He noted that the Deputy Governor has been very supportive to UAT and as such pleaded with HRH to convey his appreciation to him and the Ofoni people at large.

The VC further noted that the presence of UAT facilities in Ofoni qualifies it as a host community thus the visit. He said the community will be called upon at the right time to be part of a memorandum of understanding drafting committee to ensure that both the university and the community know and do what is expected of them.

He added that the University is currently making plans towards functionalizing the facilities at Ofoni Community but the efforts are impaired due to the financial commitments required, he therefore pleaded that the community elders support the University in the drive to approach the government through their son to ensure the Ofoni campus is kick-started.
