UNIUYO communication dept to raise N70 m for upgrade
Prof. Nkereuwem Udoakah , Head, Department of Communication Arts, University of Uyo (UNIYO), has appealed to the institution’s alumni, to help raise N70 million needed to improve facilities in the department.
Udoakah made the appeal in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Calabar.
He said that the money would be used to expand the department’s office space and classrooms.
The don said that the envisaged “communication house” if built, would provide conducive teaching and learning environment in the department.
He also told NAN that the department would organise a fund raising event to raise the money.
“We expect our old students wherever they are to contribute to the uplift of the department in their Alma Mata,” Udoakah said.
