EASTER MESSAGE

For: The University Community,

As we celebrate Easter, I am filled with profound joy and gratitude for the blessings and opportunities that abound within our esteemed institution, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University. On behalf of the entire university administration, I extend warm Easter greetings to every one of you.

Easter is a time of reflection, renewal, and hope. It is a time to commemorate the profound sacrifice made by Jesus Christ, whose remarkable resurrection symbolizes victory over darkness and the triumph of light. In the face of adversity, we draw inspiration from this story of redemption and transformation.

As we celebrate Easter, let us not forget the importance of compassion and care for one another. In the spirit of unity, let us forge stronger bonds, embrace diversity, and uphold the principles of fairness and equality within our university community.

On behalf of the University administration, I wish you all a blessed and joyous Easter celebration.

Happy Easter!

Signed:
Prof. Kate Azuka Omenugha, fnipr
Ag. Vice-Chancellor.

AG. VICE CHANCELLOR'S NEW MESSAGE TO THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY

Today is a special day for us as a University because it was on this day 24 years ago that this great institution was established.

Remarkably, our institution has witnessed tremendous improvement, and we give God all the glory.

Admittedly, we are not yet where we are headed, but we are glad that we are no longer where we used to be. The journey may be slow, but I want to assure us that together, we shall succeed. Our individual and collective sacrifices are required for that onward march. And YES! WE CAN!

On behalf of the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Administration, I wish to congratulate all of us as we join the people of God all over the World to celebrate this brand new year.

It is my wish and prayer that the good Lord will sustain and protect us throughout the coming year.

Happy New Year, and congratulations on our 24th anniversary.

The Anambra State Commissioner for Power and Water Resources, Engr. Chukwuemeka Ndive on Friday 27th October 2023 visited the Vice Chancellor, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Prof. Greg Nwakoby.

The visit was to inspect the newly completed Ultra Modern 3-in-One Solar powered streetlights installed in the Igbariam Campus of the University by the Ministry.

In his brief remarks, the Commissioner appreciated the good works of the Vice Chancellor describing him as a prudent leader who has achieved so much with little. He stated that tremendous successes have been recorded in the University under the leadership of Prof. Nwakoby.

He informed that the State Government led by Prof Chukwuma Soludo CFR in her readiness to engender disruptive change in Governance is doing a lot in the area of education starting from basic education with the recent employment of over 5000 workforce. He noted that it's Mr. Governor's understanding that education is a pillar for the growth and development of any given Society and therefore, what the Government has done is to ensure that streetlights are restored across the Campuses of the University to improve Campus night activities and reduce crime and criminality. He assured that Mr. Governor will continue to do more over time.

While reacting, the Vice Chancellor thanked the Commissioner for remembering his alma mater by providing the streetlights noting that its importance cannot be overemphasized in numerous ways.

He also thanked the Governor of Anambra State for believing in the Youth of this generation. He acknowledged that all the various positions where the youths are in charge in the State are doing wonderfully well and it can only take a firm believer in the strengths of the Youths to give them a chance.

He prayed that God would give the Governor the enablement to do more as he doing so much already in so many pillars of the economy.

Present on the visit were the leadership of the Students Union Government, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Administration, Prof. Mathias Ananti, and the Public Relations Officer, Dr. Harrison Madubueze.

Consequent on the above, the ViceChancellor has warned that lecturers who fail to submit their results for the first and second semesters of 2022/2023 session before Friday, 27th October ,2023 will not receive their October, 2023 salaries.
