Protem Executive and Members of the NNEWI CATHOLIC DIOCESAN STUDENTS (NCDS), Uniport Chapter.

My dear brothers and sisters, I thank you for attending today's (Sunday, February 25, 2018) maiden and inuagural meeting of the NNEWI CATHOLIC DIOCESAN STUDENTS (NCDS), Uniport Chapter, at the Chaplaincy Hall of the Chapel of the Annunciation Catholic Chaplaincy, University of Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria. Today's maiden and inaugural meeting was a fulfilled dream -- for since 2014, I had been nurturing a dream for the existence and establishment of NCDS in Uniport. Through the NCDS, it is my hope of anchoring on the Christian faith and morals in helping all the members to attain their greater heights in self-renewal, academic excellence, spiritual rejuvenation, and enlightened self-reliance. It is our collective hope that the protem executive and all the members will be committed to achieving the aims and objectives of the NCDS. Again, be rest assured of my robust mentorship towards raising a generational and transformational leaders for the Church and society. I congratulate all the members for attending today's meeting and urge the executive to follow our roadmap towards membership drive and preparing for subsequent meetings and programme of events. - CAO
