RITMAN UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT INSPECTS ONGOING OFF-GRID SOLAR ENERGY POWER STATION

Today, the Management of Ritman University, led by the Vice Chancellor, Professor Akan Bassey Williams, embarked on an inspection and facility tour of the University's ongoing Off-Grid Solar Energy Power Station project.

The inspection team included the Registrar, Faith E. Emmanuel, the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Professor Essien Udosen, and the University Librarian, Dr. Joseph Igligli, alongside other members of the University community.

During the tour, the Vice Chancellor expressed his satisfaction with the quality of the equipment and the progress of the installation. He commended everyone involved in the project, describing it as a landmark investment that will significantly improve the University's infrastructure and enhance the academic experience of students and staff.

This milestone reaffirms Ritman University's commitment to providing world-class facilities and a learning environment where students can thrive without the challenges of unreliable power supply.

Congratulations to the entire Ritman University community on this remarkable achievement. The future is brighter than ever!

Ritman University Celebrates Leadership Transition in Bursary Department, Welcomes New Bursar

The University community recently witnessed a significant administrative transition as it celebrated the successful completion of tenure of the immediate past Bursar, Uduak Ekanem, and officially welcomed the newly appointed Bursar, Gideon Habila Banle, to the institution's leadership team.

The occasion marked an important milestone in the University's commitment to continuity, excellence, and effective institutional governance. It provided an opportunity to recognize the outstanding contributions of Mr. Ekanem during his tenure as Bursar while also expressing confidence in the capacity of Mr. Banle to build upon the strong foundation already established within the University's financial administration.

Unlike a farewell event, the transition signifies the completion of Mr. Ekanem's service as Bursar and the beginning of a new phase of service to the University in another capacity. His continued presence within the institution underscores the University's tradition of retaining and utilizing the wealth of experience and expertise possessed by its distinguished personnel.

During his tenure as Bursar, Mr. Ekanem demonstrated exceptional professionalism, dedication, and commitment to the prudent management of the University's financial resources. His leadership contributed significantly to strengthening financial accountability, enhancing operational efficiency, and supporting the implementation of key institutional policies aimed at advancing the University's strategic objectives.

Over the years, he worked closely with the University's Management, Governing Council, academic and non-academic staff to ensure that financial processes remained transparent, effective, and responsive to the evolving needs of the institution. His stewardship of the Bursary Department was characterized by diligence, integrity, and a deep commitment to institutional growth.

Members of the University community have consistently acknowledged his contributions to maintaining financial stability and promoting a culture of accountability within the institution. Through his efforts, the Bursary Department continued to play a vital role in supporting the University's academic mission, infrastructural development, and overall operational effectiveness.

As he transitions from the office of the Bursar to a new position within the University, colleagues and stakeholders have expressed appreciation for his invaluable service and confidence that his wealth of experience will continue to benefit the institution. His journey exemplifies the University's belief in leadership continuity and the importance of leveraging institutional knowledge for sustained progress.

The leadership transition also ushers in a new chapter with the appointment of Mr. Gideon Habila Banle as the University's Bursar. Widely regarded as a seasoned professional with a strong background in financial management and administration, Mr. Banle assumes office at a time when higher education institutions are increasingly focused on innovation, sustainability, and accountability in resource management.

His appointment reflects the University's confidence in his ability to provide strategic financial leadership while advancing the institution's vision of academic excellence and organizational growth. As the new custodian of the University's financial administration, he is expected to further strengthen existing systems, promote best practices, and contribute to the realization of the institution's long-term goals.

The University Management, staff, and students have warmly welcomed Mr. Banle into his new role, expressing optimism about the future of the Bursary Department under his leadership. They have also pledged their cooperation and support as he undertakes the responsibilities associated with managing the University's financial affairs.

Speaking on the significance of the transition, members of the University community emphasized that institutional success is built upon continuity, collaboration, and effective leadership. They noted that while individuals may assume different responsibilities over time, the collective commitment to excellence remains unchanged.

As the University continues its pursuit of excellence in teaching, research, innovation, and community service, the contributions of dedicated administrators such as Mr. Uduak Ekanem and Mr. Gideon Habila Banle remain invaluable. Their commitment to service, professionalism, and institutional development reflects the values that continue to drive the University's growth and success.

The entire University community therefore joins in congratulating Mr. Ekanem on the successful completion of his tenure as Bursar and in welcoming Mr. Banle as the new Bursar. With a shared vision for progress and excellence, the institution looks forward to continued achievements and strengthened financial leadership in the years ahead.

Ritman University IRPM Students Embark on Industrial Visit to Enhance Practical Knowledge in Employment Relations and Human Resource Management

Students of the 300 Level, Department of Industrial Relations and Personnel Management (IRPM), one of the academic programmes under the Faculty of Social and Management Sciences at Ritman University, have embarked on an educational industrial visit aimed at broadening their practical understanding of employment relations and human resource management.

The industrial visit, organized as part of the academic requirements for the course Industrial Visit on Employment Relations and Human Resource Management (Course Code: IRP 327), is designed to expose students to real-life administrative structures, workplace relations, and human resource practices within both academic and public service institutions.

The exercise commenced within the University environment, where the students paid courtesy visits to the offices of all Principal Officers of the University. During the visits, the students had the opportunity to interact with key administrators and gain firsthand insight into institutional management, leadership structures, staff relations, and administrative coordination within the University system.

Speaking during the engagement sessions, the Principal Officers commended the Department for introducing practical learning experiences capable of bridging the gap between classroom theories and workplace realities. They also encouraged the students to remain focused, disciplined, and committed to professional excellence as future human resource and industrial relations practitioners.

Continuing the educational tour beyond the University environment, the students today visited the Office of the Head of Civil Service, Akwa Ibom State, where they were exposed to the operations of the State Civil Service structure and public sector human resource administration.

The visit provided the students with valuable knowledge on employment policies, industrial harmony, organizational communication, workforce management, employee welfare, and the strategic role of human resource management in public institutions. The interaction also enabled the students to appreciate the importance of professionalism, ethical conduct, and effective labour relations in the civil service.

The course lecturer, Mr. Uforo Eyo, who is also the acting Head of Department, Industrial Relations and Personnel Management, explained that the industrial visit forms an integral part of the Department’s commitment to experiential learning and professional development.

According to him, the initiative was carefully designed to give students practical exposure that complements classroom learning while preparing them for future careers in industrial relations, personnel management, and human resource administration.

He further noted that the Department remains committed to producing graduates equipped with both theoretical knowledge and practical competencies required to thrive in today’s dynamic workplace environment.

The students expressed appreciation to the University Management, the Faculty of Social and Management Sciences, and the various offices visited for granting them the opportunity to learn directly from experienced administrators and professionals.

The industrial visit is expected to continue with more engagements aimed at strengthening the students’ understanding of employment relations and modern human resource management practices.
