I Stayed in UNICAL Hostel with Mosquitoes Says Senate President Akpabio
The President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has reflected on his time as a student at the University of Calabar (UNICAL).
Akpabio shared his experiences staying in the UNICAL male hostel, where he had to contend with mosquitoes in Malabo.
Speaking in Abuja during a courtesy visit from UNICAL’s management and alumni, Akpabio recounted his student days and expressed excitement about attending the university’s 50th anniversary celebrations, scheduled for March 17th to 22nd, 2025.
“As Speaker of the Student Parliament, I fought for the interests of the students.
I never had the luxury of staying on the main campus with constant electricity.
Instead, I chose Malabo, with all the mosquitoes,” Akpabio remarked.
Despite the challenges, he described his time at UNICAL as formative, shaping his leadership abilities and preparing him for his future in governance.
