It currently offers courses in social and management Science, Natural and Science as well as Humanities, Education and Environmental Studies will take off soon. One of the Nigerian representatives at WAYP, Hon. Oluwaseun Williams, explained that the award was given based on the quality of education and facilities available at Ritman University.

The Speaker of WAYP, Hon. Mensah K. Fred expressed delight at what he saw in Ritman, describing it as “awesome” and said he never thought a Nigerian was capable of setting up an institution of such quality. He commended the strides of Senator Ibok Essien and Ritman University is dealing with the problem of illiteracy and mass poverty which are responsible for the ills in Africa.

In his acceptance speech, the senator said he acquired the land on which the university is sited when he saw 21years old and served his town- Ikot Ekpene – as Ibok Essien youth leader when he was a young man. He charged youths to be focused and work hard to achieve great things in their youthful days. The BOT chairman enthused that the dreams of today would be the phenomenal achievements of tomorrow, considering that he first conceived the idea of establishing an educational institution when he was only six years old.

The Vice Chancellor of Ritman University, Prof. Celestine Ntuen said the award frightens and motivates him at the same time, since it places a huge responsibility on the management to grow and maintain laurel-winning standards.
