The parade which was organised on the premises of the VC;s administrative block was arranged by the Man O’ War and the Unical security team.

The V. C was joined by the Acting Chief Security, Mr. Jarlath Abang, Emeka Onu, Man O’ War Instructor and other staff members as he inspected the guard, while Unical students, new and old members of the Man O’ War observed the scene.

While speaking, the Instructor of Man O’ War and the author of the initiative Emeka Onu, a Law Student, said that the guard of honour is an exercise marked to pay homage to the new VC and display the high level of alertness and readiness of the Man O’ War towards ensuring peace and security in the University.
After inspecting the guard, Prof. Zana promised to put more efforts in order to ensure that the Man O’ War as well as the security department of the school gets adequate support to do their work more effectively.

Emeka Onu reassured the Prof. Zana that the Man O’ War under his charge will ensure effective security system in the school hostels, classrooms and around. “Man O’ War is an ineligible aspect of the students body. We do not carry arms but we inspect student activities up to their hostel corners to make sure miscreants don’t penetrate into the students folk and cause damage. The students are our friends. We know ourselves. They know us. That is the best to police students, not by pursuing with arms and ammunitions.

Man O’ War instructor continued that development cannot take place in a chois environment. Those calling for protest, riot and war are those who have no plan for progressive development in our country. Lovers of development are those who sue for peace and not war”.
Onu challenged the students to be of good behaviour and learn to follow peaceful means in presenting their issues to the management rather than protest and riot.  “The students and union leaders should follow dialogue because that is the most accepted fashion of dispute resolution globally. Let us stop riots in our campuses and we will see development take place”, he concluded.
