In recognition of God's centrality in man's affairs and success in every human endeavours, Professor Patrick Ukim Ineji has attributed his achievements in life to the grace of God in his life.
He disclosed this during a thanksgiving service in appreciation of his promotion to a substantive professor of Communication held at the Grace of God Chapel, University of Cross River Calabar.
He stated that, his long walk to Success was an act of God who guided his steps as he reflected on his beginning days, parental support from his father and family members, while acknowledging his wife as a strong pillar that have stood by him in good and bad season.
Adding her voice, the wife of the celebrant, Dr Mrs. Bibiana Ineji thanked all attendees for honouring her husband, adding that the husband is a hard working man that doesn't cut corners in anything he puts his hand and heart on. She used the occasion to Thank God and acknowledge His kindness, protections and good health for the family while admitting that it's not been an easy journey but with God there is assurances of success.
Earlier, there was a church service at Grace Chapel which had in attendance colleagues from the University both teaching and non teaching, friends of the celebrant, family members and congregations from the church.
Delivering his sermon with the theme, the Weight of Grace, the presiding Priest, Rev. Godswill Ibiang Ibor drew his Bible reading from John 1 reading at verse 14 to 17. He admonished the congregants to cultivate the habit of thanksgiving as it attracts multiple blessings from God since it's an act of obedience to God's directives.
Highlights of the event was thanksgiving offering, prayer for the celebrant and family, reception at his residence, UNICROSS Staff quarters and goodwill messages from associates, colleagues and mentees.
