The University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) Alumni Association has congratulated Dr. Victor Ndifon and Comrade Ukam Ilok on their election as members of the university's Governing Council, representing the congregation.

The Association expressed its delight at the emergence of the duo, who are proud products and good ambassadors of the institution, noting that “we are particularly thrilled with their election because it signifies that products of the university have come of age and are now ready to take their rightful place in the decision-making process of the institution.”

The election, which held across the three campuses of the institution on March 26, saw Dr. Ndifon, a lecturer in the Department of Mass Communication, affirmed as the sole candidate from the teaching category with 452 votes. Comrade Ukam, representing the non-teaching category, defeated three other candidates with 366 votes.

Prof. Thomas Ojikpong, Chairman of the Election Committee who announced the results noted that Dr. Emmanuel Eta, who contested from the teaching category, was disqualified based on a court order restraining him and others from participating in the election.

The Association is confident that Dr. Ndifon and Comrade Ukam will bring their wealth of experience and expertise to bear in their new roles by contributing meaningfully towards the growth and development of the university.

Mrs. Peace Egbai, Ph.D.
