1. Smooth Transition to University Life: Orientation helps freshmen adapt to the academic, social, and cultural environment of the university. It eases the shift from secondary school to higher education, reducing anxiety and building confidence.
2. Familiarization with University Policies and Resources: Students learn about academic regulations, campus facilities, student services, and available support systems. Knowing these early helps them make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary pitfalls.
3. Building a Sense of Community: Orientation fosters connections among new students, faculty, and staff. It promotes a sense of belonging, helping students form friendships, join clubs, and engage in campus life, which improves retention and overall well-being.
4. Academic Preparedness and Goal Setting: Freshmen receive guidance on course registration, study skills, and time management. Understanding the academic structure and expectations from the start empowers students to set clear goals and stay on track for success.
5. Safety, Wellness, and Personal Development: Orientation addresses critical topics like campus safety, mental health, diversity, and responsible conduct. Equipping students with this knowledge helps them navigate challenges, stay safe, and develop holistically throughout their university journey.

   iii) Improve student accommodation and campus facilities for a world-class experience.
3. Promote Indigenous Knowledge & African Studies
   i) Establish an institute dedicated to African leadership, governance, and culture.
   ii) Encourage research and documentation of Chief Edwin Clark’s contributions to Nigeria and
   Africa.
   iii) Integrate Pan-African studies into the curriculum to foster intellectual patriotism.
4. Strengthen Industry & Alumni Engagement
   i) Build strong relationships with industries to enhance employability through internships and
   mentorships.
   ii) Create an active alumni network to support student scholarships, career placements, and
   fundraising.
   iii) Organize annual legacy lectures featuring national and international thought leaders.

   Edwin Clark’s legacy remains impactful for generations to come.

Today, we mourn the passing of a giant whose voice echoed with courage, wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to justice. Chief Edwin Clark was more than a statesman, he was a bridge between generations, a guardian of the Niger Delta, and a tireless advocate for equity and unity in Nigeria.

His life reminds us that leadership is not about power but about service. His words, his passion, and his integrity will continue to guide us. Though he is no longer with us, his legacy lives on in our policies, our communities, and our hearts. Rest well, Baba Clark. You have fought the good fight. Your light will never fade.
