Speaking at an interdenominational service to commemorate the event, Very Reverend Obay enjoined members of the university community to shun secret cultism, saying its disadvantages were far more than its benefit.

The Vice-Chancellor (VC), Prof Joseph Ahaneku praised the clerics who graced the event, saying their attendance showed their commitment to the university’s progress. He said the event was a spiritual cleansing, urging students to report any form of intimidation by lecturers or their colleagues to the authorities
