Prof Gregory Nwakoby Emerges Odumegwu Ojukwu Varsity New Acting VC

The newly appointed Acting Vice Chancellor of Chukwuemeka
Odumegwu Ojukwu University, COOU, Uli and Igbariam campuses,
Anambra State, Prof. Gregory Chukwudi Nwakoby, has warned that on
no account should the academic excellence and standard already
institutionalised in the institution be compromised.

He noted that one way of maintaining the existing standards and
possibly improving upon them is by ensuring that students who pass
through the university are well groomed, with their certificates
earned by sheer dint of hard work, while discipline remains the
watchword of both the staff and students.

Nwakoby who spoke to newsmen yesterday in his office at Igbariam
campus of the university shortly after he resumed work as the
Acting VC, having just been appointed by Governor Willie Obiano of
Anambra state to take over from the outgoing VC, Prof. Fidelis
Okafor, said he would also work towards improving the existing
facilities on ground.

According to him, “everybody here will get his or her lawful
rights complete and I will expect everybody to reciprocate that
gesture by being reasonable and focused in our collective march
towards excellence.

“I know that disputes and differences are natural in comity of
humans but such disputes must be reasonable enough and when they
come, I will handle them as an expert in dialogue and crisis
management.

“Governor Obiano has invested a lot of resources here but we
want more facilities like faculty buildings, classrooms, hostels
and more of such and my primary duty here is to ensure that the
existing facilities on ground are improved upon, apart from
maintaining quality standard of education and discipline,” he
assured.
