The management of the University of Calabar (Unical) led by Prof. James Epoke has constructed an ultramodern Library building for the Law Students. The one storey library building which was recently commissioned for the Faculty of Law is exclusively for the Law students.

CL Media was informed that the building was a gift from an alumnus of the university, Sen. Barr. Ita Enang, as a donation to encourage teaching, learning and research in the Faculty of Law, Unical.

Mr. Eyo Bassey who is the Information Officer of Unical told our reporter that Sen. Inang has displayed a worthy and exemplary behaviour. “Barr. Enang was winnowed by this university and he saw it as a need to construct a Library building for the Faculty of Law through which he passed to be what he is today. It is a worthy thing that he has done to the University and he has shown his love for the future lawyers that will pass through this university”.

The Law Library building is well fitted with offices and convenience rooms both on the ground floor and first floor.

One of the Law Students, Harrison Obike told Campuslife that he was happy to be a beneficiary of the project. “I am happy for the project and I want the university management to do more. I stay there to read and it is a very comfortable place for studies”.

Christabel Effiong said the “Library is of high class and quality. I thank the Vice Chancellor for coming up with such a development. The students are happily enjoying the place”.

Amb. Imah Ayi Ekpenyong, one time President of the Students Union Government, also a graduate of Law, Unical told Campuslife that the University has witnessed huge academic developments in Prof. Epoke’s regime. He said “the Library is a huge investment in a university and as a law student, the weight of your library determines your level of knowledge of law. A poor library is a killer disease to knowledge.

Mr. Bassey noted that Prof. Epoke is fulfilling his promise of not just utilizing the resources of the university to bring development but also attracting investors and individuals to make impactful changes in the university community. He challenged the alumni of the school to always come back to invest positively in the institution that had made them. “I advice the students and graduates to always come back and plant a good seed in the university, not just for people to remember you but to leave a legacy for younger generations to benefit from”, he concluded.
