Celebration at the Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology, Victoria Island, Lagos
On Thursday June 16, 2016 the Mundus maris Chapter at the Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology, Victoria Island, Lagos celebrated World Ocean Day with staff and students.
This was the first feasible date after semester vacation. The event took place in the audio-visual library hall of the institution.
In attendance was the Deputy Provost Administration, Dr. Onuoha, P. C., the Deputy Provost Academics, Dr. Enaikele, D. M., The Head of Department Fisheries Technology, Mrs. Mangai, O. E. among other lecturers and students.
Dr. (Mrs.) Adeogun, M. O, and Mr. Abiodun-Solanke A.coordinated the programme.
The event proved to be not only educative and enlightening, but also entertaining and motivating.
It featured the quiz competition, which was both fun and informative. Mr. Jahnezim B. C., President of the Mundus maris chapter shared a slide presentation, while Mr. Okekunle gave a talk. Together they provided the audience with an overview of the state of the ocean and how each one can promote an improvement of its health.
Members of the staff were given the opportunity to pledge support towards the activities of Mundus maris in the institution.
Some students equally expressed their passion for the ocean through well-composed poems. Aquariums and fish bowls by Fishful Thinking Consult, used for decoration, surely drew attention to the beauty of marine creatures.
With recharged batteries from this memorable celebration, we expect renewed impetus to the ocean cleaning activities around Lagos.
