The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Prof. Florence Banku Obi, has celebrated the yuletide season with children in a colourful and unique style at the institution’s conference centre.
The UNICAL Staff Children Party, the first of it’s kind, played host to hundreds of children who competed in various events during the show.
The event featured dance competition, bible quiz, little master and miss UNICAL pageant show, fashion parade, among many others.
The winners of miss UNICAL and little master were crowned by the VC and branded as “Ambassadors of UNICAL”, while Christmas packages were shared to all the children.
Consolation prizes were also given to the 1st and 2nd runner up respectively. Parents were not left out in the fun as they added colour to the event by way of dancing on stage and contesting to win prizes for their children.
In her remarks, the VC, who said that identifying with children helps to shape their upbringing and giving them the right path to follow in life, advised parents to always give their children a positive outlook towards life.
According to her, “Children are gifts from God, hence we need to take good care of them by teaching them what is morally right and the things that are wrong.
