Abstract
On behalf of the clergy, members of the consecrated life and laity of the Catholic Diocese of Enugu, I welcome everyone to the third convocation ceremony of our University, Godfrey Okoye University, where we demonstrate our wholesome commitment to the education of our young people. It has always been the primary responsibility of the Church - the Catholic church in particular, to promote the education of young people ( Pius XI, Encycl. Divini Illius Magistri, 31 Dec.1929). Our choice is of an education that is both integral and progressive.That has been the teaching of the Church especially as is very explicitly taught in the Vatican II Declaration on Christian Education: "The sacred ecumenical Council has given careful consideration to the paramount importance of education in the life of men and its ever-growing influence on the social progress of the age... The Church as a mother is under an obligation to provide for its children an education by virtue of which their whole lives may be inspired by the spirit of Christ'. (Vat. II, Gravissimum Educationis, nos. 1 & 3). We are eternally grateful to all those who have been very cooperative with the university to provide quality education for our children. We appreciate all your numerous sacrifices.
