Many congrats on the promotion, Eyo! Very well deserved!!!.
I’m usually a fan of term limits but yesterday I abandoned my fandom with the declaration "Ukpong Eyo promoted from Associate Professor without tenure to tenured Associate Professor without term". Too many mentors, mentees, friends, family, companion and God to thank 🙏🏾.Let’s Go!.
