It was a moment of joy as the first ever male first-class product took the oath on the 10th Induction and Oath-taking ceremony of the Department of Radiography and Radiological Science, College of Medical Sciences, (Unical).

Mr Goodluck Okoro, made history by bagging a first class, the first male first class graduate after Ms Eteng Rejuno broke the chains in 2014.

Of the lot admitted into the department five years ago, 59 were lucky to complete the programme.

The inductees filed into the UNICAL International Conference Centre, beaming with smiles; as they were joined by their family members and friends.
