The NYCN-CRS chairman paid a courtesy visit to the vice-chancellor Prof. Florence Obi.

The National Youth Council Chairman of the Cross River State Chapter, Comr. Dan Obo Jr. paid a courtesy visit to the vice chancellor of the University of Calabar.

The chairman of the NYCN-CRS begins the meeting with an introduction of his other executive, and he continues by appreciating the VC for accepting the youth council. He reacted to the recent issues regarding law faculty and the students who are about to be suspended regarding the claim and issues roaming within the faculty.

Obo tenders his full support for the management discussion so far but calls on the Vice-chancellor to please temper justice with mercy for the students on the list.

The chancellor explained that the level at which the university is in the world is not a good record. She talked about the bad image the university is facing because, as it is in Nigeria, university law students are already marked poorly and seen as using bad sources to get grades or certificates.
She explained her effort a few weeks ago on image laundry, working from different social media platforms and TV to reduce the bad name their university had already gotten.

‎
Based on the withdrawal of affected law students, the media carried the wrong information; rather, the university instructed for screening, not the exact withdrawal of students.

She assured the National Youth Council chairman that law students who are qualified for law school have been mobilized even after law school is closed nationally.

Whatever decision the school management takes on the recent crisis occurring at the faculty of law, it is to correct the University of Calabar. But the management won’t withdraw students.
