The University of Calabar Library is the intellectual hub of the community. Established in 1975, the Library’s collection has grown from 756 materials to over one million unique materials, which include some of the only surviving dairies from Colonial Nigeria. The Library has the capacity to host over three thousand (3,000) readers. The University Library is a place of invention and an engine of collaboration where users explore the past, understand the present and innovate for the future.

During her speech, she went further to say that her administration cannot hope to excel in an environment where corruption is a norm. According to her, “in my investiture speech, I had promised to do all within my powers to fight corruption, for we cannot hope to excel in an environment where corruption is a norm. In addition to the modest successes recorded in the years, we are waging the war against corruption aggressively. I am pleased that the cashless policy has sunk into both staff and students as well as the policy on booknsales.”

“As we continue to deal with unscrupulous elements within the system, through the invocation of the relevant rules and regulations and subjecting them to the prescribed disciplinary procedure, I assure you of our unwavering commitment to the task of sanitizing the university”, she said.
She warned lecturers against inserting assignments into books they publish and then compelling students to do them saying the policy against compelling students to buy books is in place.”

“She said the university’s policy initiatives and implementation remain in place and having let everyone understand what guides them, her administration remains firm in the holistic implementation of it’s policies and enforcement of our rules no matter whose ox is gored.
She added that the fibre roll out that started in the first year of her administration has terminated in over 80% of departments and units across the university.” She emphasized that “with our pace and tempo having been set, our goal of excellence clearly in view, our resolve is unshakable and stronger than any obstacle on the way as we continue the March of our time to place our university on an enviable pedestal.” She also reaffirmed her commitment for the University’s general development.

The townhall Meeting was attend by stakeholders of the University including her 5 principal officers, the DVC Academics, Professor Angela Oyo-Ita, the DVC Administration, Professor Micheal Okom, the University Librarian, Professor Aniebiet Inyang Ntui, the Registrar, Mr. Gabriel Egbe and the Newly Appointed Bursar, Mr Joseph Odum.

Library mobile app is good for students. But how does the app work against the corruption that comes from the staff?
