FOUR-HOUR READING MARATHON INSPIRES STUDENTS AHEAD OF EXAMINATION
As examination season approaches, students gathered in an atmosphere of focus, encouragement, and determination during a four-hour reading preparation programme organized by the University Chapel.
The event, held at the Chapel auditorium, brought together students from different faculties who dedicated their time to intensive study ahead of the forthcoming examinations. The programme aimed to provide a conducive environment where students could concentrate on their academic work while drawing motivation from one another.
For four uninterrupted hours, participants engaged in personal reading, revision, and group discussions. The usually quiet venue transformed into a centre of determination as students flipped through textbooks, highlighted important points, and reviewed lecture notes.
According to the Chapel leadership, the initiative was organized to encourage academic excellence among students while promoting discipline, consistency, and effective study habits.
Many students described the programme as timely and beneficial. Some noted that studying alongside fellow students helped them remain focused and avoid distractions often encountered in their hostels and other study environments.
«”they were able to cover more topics than I normally would in a day. Seeing other students equally committed to their studies motivated me to stay focused throughout the session," said a participant.»
Beyond academic preparation, the programme also fostered a sense of community among participants. Moments of encouragement and reflection reminded students of the importance of balancing academic pursuits with personal growth and well-being.
Participants expressed appreciation to the University Chapel for creating an environment that combined academic support with moral encouragement.
As the session came to an end, students left the venue feeling more prepared, confident, and determined to excel in their examinations.
