Graduates of University of Nigeria, Enugu
Campus Medical School, notably the Class of 1995 nicknamed 'Lynx '95 ' have
returned to their alma mater to feed the fingers that once fed them.
Having travelled far and wide across their
respective destinations and medical callings, 'Lynx '95' has donated a 40 KVA
Solar-powered system to the new 120-room Medical Students' Hostel, apart from
renovating the Lecture Theatre at Ituku Ozalla being the new site of the
University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, UNTH.
The renovation works at UNTH by Lynx '95
included changing of the roof, ceilings, broken windows; refurbishing of
electrical fittings and fixtures; repainting of the edifice; repairing of plumbing
works, and installation of an overhead water tank.
The official hand-over of the donations and
rehabilitation took place at UNTH on Friday, August 5, 2016; with high ranking
academics from the Ivory Tower in attendance. Professor Ernest Onwasigwe, Provost
of the Faculty of Health Sciences including Professors Ezegui Hyginus and
Uchenna Nwagha being Dean and immediate past Dean both of the College of
Medicine were on hand to grace the occasion.
The Lynx '95-powered event coincided with
the Re-Union Week with activities including Morning Walk, Heart-Healthy
Breakfast, Visit to Charity, Motherless Babies Home and Mentoring for Final
Year Medical Students. The week-long event was capped with a Re-Union Dinner
and an interdenominational thanksgiving service on Sunday, August 7, 2016.
For Lynx '95 to have given their widow's
mites at this time underscores Malcolm Bane's philosophy: "If you wait until
you can do everything for everybody, instead of something for somebody, you
will end up doing nothing for nobody".
