The University representative at the event, Dr Ahmet, in his speech thanked everyone for being exemplary citizens of Nigeria and respectful residents of North Cyprus.

The event was attended by several non-Nigerian countries like North Cyprus, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Lebanon, South Africa and Pakistan. The event was equally graced by Shows by Nigerian artists and comedy shows, including poem recitals.

Some students have this to say about the event:
