He further praised members of staff involved in the conduct and supervision of the examinations for their professionalism and dedication to duty.

“I must sincerely appreciate our staff for their diligence and commitment. Their excellent conduct has contributed significantly to the smooth take-off of these examinations,” he added.

As part of the tour, the Vice-Chancellor also visited the University Medical Centre, where he assessed the level of readiness of the health unit to respond to any emergencies during the examination period.

He commended the personnel of the Medical Centre for their proactive approach and preparedness, noting that student welfare remains a top priority of the University Management.
