Dist. Hon. Chief Joe Obi Bisong The Director General of the Caterpillar movement.
HRH Chief Obeten Emmanuel
SA Student's Affairs to Sen. Prof. Sandy Onor
Dist. Cmr. Ugah James The President of University of Calabar, SUG
Dist. Cmr. Ovat Peter. The NACRISS Worldwide President
Dist. Senior Cmr. Joe Lecturer of the Philosophy Department
Senator Bofa Ojong Senate President SUG UNICAL
Onigah Joseph Dir. Of Information SUG UNICAL
Cmr. Igri Sunday Chief Whip Naccriss Worldwide
Hon. David Godson (SAM) - The Solicitor General SUG
Uche Ekwunife Dept. Solicitor Gen. SUG, the emeritus executives of CENSA, presidents and vice presidents in their various capacities and schools, such as, the Senate President of Crutech and the list is quite inexhaustive.
The ceremony kicked off with an opening prayer session, a corrosive aluta chant and a brief introduction by the now dissolved Eleco Chairman.
The Director General of the Caterpillar Movement, as well as the Chairman of the occasion, gave a sound and enthralling opening remarks. In his words filled with prestige and eloquence, he gave the following points:
There is every tendency and necessity to uphold every leadership mantle on one by one’s colleagues, associates, fellow citizens at every point in time.
He was very particular about the past administration and how they have vigorously built and laid quite a tremendous impact both in the student union and Cross river as a state.
In his words _“when one chooses to troll in the line of political apathy, a time will come when one will cry wolf, his nonchalance in matters of his state, shall one day, dawn on him, his failures”.
He specifically advised youths to take their academical process serious and also ask questions where and when necessary, this is to ensure that things are properly done. He emphasized on the need to be abreast with one's rights. He brilliantly recapitulated the activities of the distinguished Senator and face of the Caterpillar movement on issues concerning youths and the realistic showmanship of fair hearing, he has accorded to every youth that has shown concern.
He went further to reproach the idea of cultism as a practice. He showed great detest and disgust at the terrible outcomes of such act. Students sent to school have overtime not made it out of school to go sing a thanksgiving in church, rather, a great ceremony is held by their parents in memory of their death.
He proceeded to congratulate the newly elected excos and urged them to do well as expected.
In furtherance of the ceremony, the newly elected executive members in CENSSA Worldwide election were called upon for oath taking.
The Solicitor General of the Student Union Government, University of Calabar, duly administered the oath of office to the newly elected. The elected comrades who took their oath of office today includes the
Provost Elect Cmr. Obi Rowland
Auditor II Elect Thankgod Viscos
Auditor General Cmr. Anthony
Director of Welfare Michael Ogbe_
Dir. Of Information Egbai Santos
Treasurer Elect – Fred Okoi
Gen. Secretary Elect Alobi Patrick
Dept. Sec. Gen. Elect Egbala Joy
Vice President/CENSSA Queen Elect Rejoice Ojong
The President/CENSSA Chief Elect Marvelous Imoke
Indeed, the eyes that beheld the oath taking of this worthy comrades, would say nothing less than
"Glory and glamour is for men who have distinguished themselves to serve humanity with no iota of selfishness, for on the alter of oath, they shall receive the mandate and blessings of the people."
Cmr. Sunny Ndem, a very spirited father of CENSSA (the first elected CENSSA-WW Chief), was duly called upon to coronate the new Chief of CENSA-WW He started by giving a sincere yet very conscious advice to the body. He re-echoed on the issue of cult groups. He showed so much dissatisfaction with the level of impunity and lackadaisical attitudes which have flooded the student community.
In his words, "What shall it profit a man to loose the world, and his soul inclusive?"
He was very optimistic of the administration that has just being birthed. His speech was filled with tintinnabulation, when he emphasised on the importance of every exco. According to him, there exists nothing such as a less important exco, as long as one has radically distinguished himself to serve."
The newly Coronated Chief/ President HRH Chief Marvelous Imoke (CENSA-WW Chief the 9th) gave a very salient and superfluous speech. His speech was meticulously presented and duly received by CENSITES. This was followed up by the vote of thanks presented by the newly elected CENSA number two citizen HRM Rejoice Ojong, The presentation of certificates to the newly inaugurated executives followed suit.
In the words of Benjamin Franklin, If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things that are worth reading, or do the things that are worth the writing.
Indeed, the 9th inauguration ceremony of CENSA-WW, is that which every ink in a sheet will stain and every lip will forever hallow. It was a worthy sight to behold.
