Abba Moro honours Matriculation Ceremony of Ellen-Gaf School of Health
Distinguished Senator Abba Patrick Moro, Saturday, attended the Matriculation Ceremony of Ellen-Gaf School of Health Science and Technology at Ajide-Ekeh, in Okpokwu Local Government Area.
Matriculation Ceremony serves as a formal process of becoming a student of the institution or becoming a recognized member of the Health Science and Technology community, having met all academic and administrative requirements. All the new students participated fully by taking the Oath of Matriculation in order to be formally recognized as bona-fide students of the institution, and entitled to all rights and privileges pertaining the school.
20 students, each from the nine local governments of Benue South Senatorial District, on the scholarship of the Senator were part of the Matriculation Ceremony.
The Proprietor of the school, Engr. Otanwa Innocent, on behalf of the school management and staff, welcomed the new students into the school and wished them academic success as they kick started their journey as health practitioners.
Comrade Moro who chaired the ceremony, urged the students to always remember to pray and ask God for whatever they want in life. He admonished them to take charge of their future by choosing the reality of whom they want to become tomorrow through thinking and taking charge of their actions.
The Senator used the occasion to remind leaders that the future lies on the students of today and that they should do everything possible to provide for them in order to have a better tomorrow.
His words, “If you are a politician, provide for the tomorrow of those who will take over from you and not just scrambling for positions for the sake of being in power. The position you are aspiring to occupy, what are you going to do with it? Every position in life comes from God.
“It’s only God that gives power so don’t destroy anyone because you want to be where he is today. It’s the grace of God that we all need to go higher in life,” he added.
Senator Moro offered scholarship to a little boy called Isaac Adudu at the venue of the matriculation, from Secondary to University level. The mother of the boy, Mary Adadu, was full of joy and appreciation to the Distinguished Senator, she prayed God to reward the Senator abundantly.
