Don’t miss the opportunity to join one of Nigeria’s leading private universities, with global standards.

Gregory University, Uturu has held its first Radiography Induction and Oath-Taking Ceremony, celebrating the pioneer graduands of the Department of Radiography.

The historic event which took place at Izima Council Chambers of Gregory University on Wednesday, 13th August 2025 brought together professionals and distinguished personalities in the field of Radiography.

Administering the oath, the Registrar of the Medical Rehabilitation Radiography Board of Nigeria (RRBN), Professor Mark Chukwudi Okeji, who was represented by Dr. Macauly Chukwudi Ejimofor, commended the institution for being one of the four private universities in Nigeria offering Radiography with full NUC accreditation.

He further encouraged the inductees, as pioneer graduands, to carry the double honour and responsibility of upholding the standards of the profession and keep the flag flying.

In her opening address, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Cele Njoku, represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), Professor Regina Ogali, urged the inductees to go beyond mere practice and strive to become professionals who positively influence the lives of their patients, and others in the society.

Delivering the induction lecture titled “Shaping the Future of Radiography and Shining with Purpose”, the Guest Speaker, Elder Ini Ekanem, emphasized that Radiography practice is broad and multifaceted. He encouraged the inductees to become technical stewards and policy advocates in order to evolve into global professionals.

Elder Ekanem further urged the inductees to jealously guard their profession, develop the drive to advance their skills, and become role models for others.

In his valedictory speech, the best graduand, Ogiribo O. Glory, remarked, “It wasn’t easy at first, but I fought battles.” He promised never to bring shame to his parents or the university. He expressed deep gratitude to God for bringing them this far and appreciated the lecturers for the guidance throughout their academic journey.

Gregory University Uturu (GUU) Law Scholars Association (LAWSA) hosted a debate to discuss laws concerning social media usage.

The debate featured two formidable chambers: Justice Mary Odili Chambers, advocating for stricter social media laws in the interest of order, and Justice Oputa Chambers, arguing that such laws would pose a threat to freedom of expression. The event drew a remarkable audience, comprising lecturers and scholars, creating an atmosphere of intellectual engagement and legal reasoning.

The debate began with a compelling presentation by Favour Oyinmiébi Elemson from Justice Mary Odili Chambers, supported by Uchegbu Joshua Chukwuemeka. Their argument was meticulously structured, incorporating real-life examples, practical experiments, statistical analysis, and legal precedents to substantiate their stance on the necessity of stricter social media regulations.

In response, Mary Chiamaka Ezeugwu and Jethro Gumi of Justice Oputa Chambers mounted a strong counterargument. Their presentation emphasized the fundamental right to freedom of expression and the potential risks of governmental overreach, making a case against excessive restrictions on social media.

The speakers engaged in powerful rebuttals and thought-provoking discourse, allowing participants to share their perspectives and contribute diverse legal insights to the discussion. The former GUU LAWSA Vice President, Nmesoma, also contributed in support of stricter regulations on social media, using Twitter as a case study.

Following an intense deliberation, the honourable judges, Barrister Raymond Uche and Mr. Victor Okoro, emphasized the significance of the debate in shaping legal thought and advocacy. After careful evaluation of the argument structure, legal backing, and delivery, the judges ruled in favour of Justice Mary Odili Chambers, recognizing their well-founded arguments and compelling advocacy for order in social media regulation.

A highlight of the event was the presentation of awards to Praise Chimbundu Chijioke from Justice Mary Odili Chambers and Chidubem Roy Anyanwu from Justice Oputa Chambers, in recognition of their exceptional performances.

The debate was not just a competition but a testament to the legal acumen and advocacy skills of Gregory University Law Scholars, reinforcing the importance of legal discourse in shaping policies that impact society.

As part of the activities marking the Gregory University College of Law Week, held from 23rd June to 29th June, 2025, the College hosted a Moot Court trial aimed at enhancing practical learning by helping students apply legal theories to real-life scenarios.

The fictional court proceedings featured two parties, with a total of ten counsels; five representing the Prosecution and five representing the Defense, in a mock murder trial.

During the event, the Dean of the College, A’Prof Angela Ngozi Chioke encouraged the scholars to take the Moot Court trial seriously, emphasizing that it is, first and foremost, an academic exercise meant to build competence and confidence. She noted that the experience would significantly contribute to their legal knowledge and better prepare them for effective practice beyond the university walls.

She also urged the students to be diligent and to seize every opportunity to learn, stating that consistent effort and dedication would enable the College to attain its rightful place of pride both nationally and globally.

Earlier, A’Prof Chioke presented certificates to a group of scholars who had represented the university at the Wahab Egbewole National Disability Rights Moot Competition held at the University of Ilorin.

Gregory University Uturu College of Law were among the top five universities at the end of the competition, highlighting the institution’s growing reputation in legal education.
