We the executives of the Student Association Government, College of Health Science, UNIZIK Nnewi wish to thank immensely, all those who where present at the May 9th memorial service, your presence gave us confidence that we were not alone and it sent a message out to all that we are one people, sending one message with one voice.
The occasion began with the opening prayer which was done by Mrs Perculiar., afterwards the national anthem and the school anthem were sung by the MC, Ekwudo Millicent. The service was graced by the presence of dignitries such as the Chairman of the occasion, in the person of Dr. Ubidwe, Dean, faculty of Medicine, Dr. Ugochukwu, the Dean student affairs, Dr. Ken Nwogu and the Sub-Dean, Dr. Oranusi as well, Reverend Father Izunwa Maurice, the SUG President Awka- Comrade Noble Eyisi in the company of his aids, amongst other dignitaries.
The occasion began in full with a delightful opening remark from the Chairman of the occasion, in which he rued for better safety ethics amongst students so as to prevent the reoccurrence of such an ugly incident. After a the opening remark by the chairman, the MC gave a proper introduction of the dignitries that were present. Afterwards a brief moment of silence was observed in honour of those lost in the fire accident years ago.
In the spirit of sober reflections, an account of the event of that tragic day was given by an eye witness, in the person of "Mama ozi". She gave a heartfelt account of what happened from her own stand point as an eye witness, highlighting her disappointment in the fact that fourteen years later the campus remains without a functional ambulance. The first speaker of the event - Rev. Fr. Dr. Izunwa Maurice, mounted the podium afterwards and gave the memorial lecture on selflessness, highlighting how rare it was to see one selfless enough to give his life for another just as the late Chinedu Chukwunweke, urging us to learn from his example.Then a beautiful poem was presented by Chukwujeku Samuel in honour of the deceased. And also a resounding rendition was given by the melodious St. Cecilia Choir of St. Camillus De Lellis Catholic Chaplaincy to mark the event. There was a procession to the monument to pay respects to the fallen heroes. It was then that the second speaker for the event spoke, the person of our amiable Dean of students affairs Prof. Kenneth Nwogu who was eloquent, gallant and impressive in delivering his speech as usual.
A drama was presented by the Federation Theatre from Okofia, flowers were dropped at the monument and a prayer led by the Dean, Faculty of Medicine - Prof. Ugochukwu was given for the souls of those departed. The M.C seized the opportunity to reverberate the abysmal state of the schools only functioning ambulance and to appeal to the school authority to heed our cry for help and come to our aid in providing that which is pertinent to sustaining and securing the life of students in the campus, a plea that was backed up by every single student present as they echoed " we need an ambulance". The closing prayer was given by the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine.
