Dr. (Mrs.) Adun, who called on the public to attend the lecture which, according to her, promised to be quite educating and informative, admonished that alumni should remember their alma mater with a view to assisting the school that made them. 

"The relationship between old students and their former schools is analogous to the relationship between a father and his children.  When the father is old, the children come back to assist. This is an open invitation to all UI alumni in Delta State to grace this year public service lecture. Alumni can as well bring their spouses and children to the occasion. They should know that they are obligated to remember the university that made them. So, they are expected at this annual public service lecture," she said.

While enjoining members of the association to be very committed towards the success of the lecture, she noted that UIAA was their pride.

“Let us lift the banner of UIAA high with pride and dignity. Every UI alumnus should get involved in the forthcoming public service lecture being put together by UIAA

“God bless you all,” said the Asaba Chapter's Chairman of the UIAA.
