"We want to congratulate our former Vice Chancellor, Prof. Anthony Owan Enoh on his recent appointment as the Secretary to the State government by Governor Bassey Edet Otu. We thank the Governor immensely for finding him worthy to serve in such an important position.
"The SSG is the engine room of the government and we're particularly pleased that the Governor has gotten a perfect fit for the position. Prof. Owan Enoh is a thorough breed administrator who has always distinguished himself in every given opportunity.
"He was an outstanding administrator as provost of the College of Education, Akamkpa and Vice Chancellor of our dear alma matter. We've no doubt that he'll bring his wealth of experience to bear in making the Governor Otu's administration a very successful one," the statement read in part.
The alumni urged the Governor to create more opportunities to accommodate many products of the University in his government.
According to the statement "as we always say, UNICROSS has come of age and it is an asset to the entire state. We are very pleased with the appointment of our ex-VC. This has given us the confidence that more of our products would be accommodated in the new administration.
"Prof. Owan Enoh had groomed and produced some of the most innovative, resilient and hardworking graduates during his time as Vice Chancellor. It's only normal that now that he's been elevated to the Chief admin officer of the government, he, through the Governor creates opportunities for more of his products to showcase what he instilled in them.
