The Council of Federal Institutions’, an umbrella body of Federal universities in Ebonyi State ‘on Wednesday, 6th March, 2019, paid courtesy visit to the Vice-Chancellor, Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State, Prof. Chinedum Nwajiuba.
The team was led by the President of the SUG (AEFUNAI), Comrade Njoku Francis Ogbonna who noted that the organization took a holistic view and general assessment of the best performing Vice-Chancellors in the Federal Institutions in Ebonyi State and discovered that Prof. Nwajiuba excelled his equals and deserved the praise and commendation of the students’ body.
He averred that the Vice-Chancellor was rated with unequal parallel in massive infrastructural development and human capacity building and has transformed the university within short period of time.
Mr. Ogbonna recalled his admission year with AEFUNAI to have been characterized with pains and agony where they usually sat on blocks for chairs and shades for classroom. He posited that the bushy pathways created room for rape, sexual abuse and harassment but today, history has changed and posterity will forever remember the works of the Vice-Chancellor.
Highlights of their visitation were the presentation of VC’s portrait, a plague, a photo stand and a celebration cake.
In response, the Vice-Chancellor thanked them but charged them to be more committed in their studies and shun laziness in their lives and academic endeavours, pointing out that AEFUNAI is a serious institution and will not compromise that trust of seriousness the institution has been identified with especially the university degree.
‘We are here to produce degrees that are globally competent’ and we are to give you that image and reputation’, he said.
