This, he did before the lecture. Before the lecture, the welcome address was taken by our famous Vice Chancellor, Prof. Kolawole Salako. On sighting the chairman (Prof. Anthony Asiwaju) of the occasion sitting at the valley side of the building (if I should put), the Vice Chancellor invited him to the Podium.

These entrepreneurs were honoured by the presence of the Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, Deputy Vice Chancellors and other dignitaries.

The Vice Chancellor arrived the venue few minutes before 2pm with the Chancellor (His Eminence, the Obong of Calabar) and other officials.
