We want to tell the world how important University of Cross River State is, as a centre of peace. The award we have conferred on you here today will definitely make University of Cross River State to be announced to the international community."

Meanwhile, Professor Angba thanked the Association for bestowing the title on him and described it as a challenge that invites further work for peace. He said: "It is only God that gives peace. We are just an instrument that God uses to foster peace on the surface of the earth. No nation can grow without peace. Students and staff stand to benefit from this award. We are going to ensure that our students are also part of the United Nations global learning platform."

The conferment of the title of Eminent Ambassador of Peace was witnessed by Professor Joy Etiowo, Vice Chancellor (Academics) and Professor Mary Eyo, Vice Chancellor (Administration), respectively.

It is expected that members of the International Association of World Peace Advocates will return to University of Cross River State in the next one month to do the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Flag hoisting ceremony.

According to Ambassador Nkweke, the university will be officialy programmed to the United Nations' Online Sustainable Development Goals learning center after that ceremony.
