The Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole, SAN, has felicitated with members of the institution’s Christian community and the Christian world at large on the occasion of this year’s Christmas as he also wished all Nigerians a prosperous New Year in advance.

In a statement signed by the University’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr Kunle Akogun, the Vice Chancellor said that the occasion actually called for merriment, retrospection and gratitude to God Almighty for His boundless mercies on all.

Prof. Egbewole, who described Christmas as a celebration of the timelessness and extraordinariness of the phenomenon Jesus Christ symbolises, said that Christians must live as the saviour did.

The Vice Chancellor urged Christians, particularly those who are staff and students of the University, to emulate the paragonic virtues of Jesus Christ, whose birthday Christmas symbolises.

The Professor of Jurisprudence and International Law said that more than ever before, the Nigerian citizens and members of the global community needed to emulate the simplicity, kindness, service. peace and humility, which were the core attributes of Jesus Christ and which he lived and died for, for the nation and humanity to witness tremendous transformation.

Prof. Egbewole encouraged Nigerians and particularly members of the University community to live in peace and harmony with one another and their neighbours for the nation to continue to enjoy the fruits of peaceful coexistence.

The legal luminary said that the management of the University would continue to treat members of the University community and its relevant publics with absolute respect and fairness regardless of where they come from or the religion they practise.

Prof. Egbewole, who is also the Secretary-General of the Association of West African Universities (AWAU), also assured members of the University community of the readiness of his administration to continue to work at ensuring their welfare.
