The Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole, SAN, has felicitated with members of the University Christian community and the entire Christendom on the occasion of this year’s Easter festival.

In a statement signed by the University Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr Kunle Akogun, the Vice Chancellor described Easter as an important period in Christendom during which the global Christian community celebrates in honour of Jesus Christ.

The Vice Chancellor, who is also the Secretary-General of the Association of West African Universities (AWAU), said that the commemoration of the Easter is to appreciate the greatness of Jesus Christ.

Prof. Egbewole enjoined Christians and others to emulate the selflessness, civility and faith, which the event represents.

The Vice Chancellor also urged Christians to celebrate the occasion in moderation and ensure that they extend support to the less-privileged relations, friends, neighbours and colleagues for all to live in love and peace.

Prof. Egbewole also commended the quality and magnitude of fraternity existing between Muslim and Christian members of the University community, adding that it is worthy of emulation by all for the nation and humanity to enjoy enduring peace.

The Vice Chancellor wished members of the University Christian community and their counterparts across the nation and beyond a very peaceful and rewarding celebration.
