Augustine University, on Wednesday, 9th April 2025, formally inaugurated its newly elected Students' Representatives during a solemn Holy Mass held at the University Chapel—Chapel of Mary Mother of the Church. The event marked a significant milestone in the University's effort to strengthen student leadership and representation. 

In his homily, the University Chaplain, Rev. Fr. Andrew Toye, encouraged the student leaders to embrace humility in their service. He reminded them that leadership is a responsibility that demands wisdom, patience, and a deep sense of commitment to the common good. “You have been chosen to serve, not to rule. Lead with humility, and always place the needs of others above personal interests,” he said.

Further words of encouragement came from the Acting Dean of Student Affairs, Dr. Ngozi Chikere, and the University Counsellor, Rev. Sr. Josephine Tiav. Both officials urged the student representatives to uphold the core values of the university and remain responsible intermediaries between the student body and the university administration. “Your role is not just about leadership, but about building bridges and fostering understanding,” Sr. Josephine emphasized.
