The vice chancellor, Prof Florence Obi stated this yesterday  in Càlabar while speaking  during her 4th anniversary which took place at the University of Calabar campus.

Obi  stated that the grant is a challenge for academic staff to redouble their efforts in embarking in research programmes to enable them qualify to assess the fund.

The vice chancellor averred that it is not enough to secure such grants if those who are supposed to assess them do not make quality efforts, stressing that the grants are not meant for disbursement to all faculties for academic enablement.

Obi announced the unbundling of the department of mass communication, with the National Universities Commission (NUC) approval for the department to be upgraded to a full-fledged faculty with Public Relations, Broadcasting, and Mass Communication and Media Studies as departments.
