Reminiscing the Lion’s Den: A Dual-Campus Odyssey
Dr. Ubani, known for his vocal leadership as former Chairman of NBA-SPIDEL and Vice President of the Nigerian Bar Association, will address delegates on a deeply reflective topic:
“Reminiscing My Sojourn In UNN From 1983 to 1985 At Nsukka Campus And From 1985 To 1989 At Enugu Campus”
The presentation promises an intimate narrative tracing his formative academic journey through both legendary campuses of the University of Nigeria. From the historic hills of Nsukka to the bustling legal halls of the Enugu Campus (UNEC), Ubani will draw lessons on resilience, leadership, and how the core UNN ethos—Restoring the Dignity of Man—serves as a blueprint for navigating contemporary national challenges.
