Professor Williams isn’t the only new face in the top management team. Ritman University is getting a full power-up!

Deaconess Faith Emmanuel is the new substantive Registrar.

It’s a whole new team ready to take the university to the next level!


The Visitor Speaks: "Consolidate the Gains!"


The University Visitor, Senator Emmanuel Ibok-Essien, made sure to give props to the outgoing team for their dedicated service.


But he didn't stop there. He threw his full weight behind the new management. He expressed total confidence, saying he hopes and believes Prof. Williams and his team will "consolidate on the gains already made" and push the university's vision forward.


The Pledge: Building Knowledge for Development


In his acceptance speech, Professor Williams was all gratitude and big promises. He thanked everyone for the massive confidence shown in him.


He then pledged to firmly uphold the university's core values, aligning with their powerful motto: "Building Knowledge for Development."


It looks like Ritman University is set for a massive surge in academic growth with this new powerhouse team. Get ready for major achievements!
