Obi said that the fumigation of the executive buildings and other sections within the campus was being administered by a charitable individual within the state.
“We are very grateful to Mr Andrew Onukansi for what he has done to the university. I would like to use this chance to plead with the private sector, major stakeholders and friends of Unical to return to our aid.
