GOVERNOR UDOM EMMANUEL COMMISSIONS UNIUYO ARTS GALLERY
Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa
Ibom has commissioned an arts gallery in the University of Uyo ( UNIUYO ) in
honour of his mother in-law, Late Professor (Mrs.) Stella Idiong.
Late Mrs. Idiong was the
first female professor of Fine and Industrial Arts in the country, hence the
building of the arts gallery by her family to showcase her works.
The gallery was built ten
years after her death as a memorial, to also showcase her works and promote art
in the institution.
Speaking at the Main
campus of the University, Governor Emmanuel commended the Vice Chancellor of
the University, Prof. Enefiok Essien for allowing the sponsors of the gallery
build the arts center in the school.
