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.
