The family of Professor Akpan Hogan Ekpo, former students, friends and colleagues, decided to build a Centre to Honour him while he is still alive.
The Centre organizes short-term courses for the training of senior, middle and executive public sector officials and their private sector counterparts in various areas of public policy.
In addition, the Centre holds roundtable discussions on topical and relevant issues so as to contribute not only to public discourse but also to influence government policy in Nigeria, Africa and globally.
These matters, among others have occupied the life of Professor Akpan Hogan Ekpo for several decades. It is important to state that this type of Centre is not common in this part of Nigeria hence its establishment is beneficial to the university, community, the country and humanity.
