The acting vice chancellor of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE), Port Harcourt, Professor Okechuku Onuchuku, has continued to receive praises from stakeholders over what they labelled as rapid transformation of the ivory tower.
Some stakeholders such as Chief Geoffrey U. Amadi, who spoke with newsmen in Port Harcourt said the school under Onuchuku was now making waves in the academic community with his impressive leadership and vision.
Amadi, who graduated from the university some years back, recalled that since the acting vice chancellor took over the office in November 2021, he has implemented several initiatives aimed at improving the university’s academic standards and overall quality of life for students.
“Under Professor Onuchuku’s leadership, IAUE has continued to offer a wide range of academic programs across seven faculties, including Agriculture, Education, Humanities, Management Sciences, Natural and Applied Sciences, Social Sciences, and Vocational and Technical Education”, he said.
Another respondent , a top military officer, Moses Diche, noted that the university has also maintained its accreditation status with the National Universities Commission (NUC) by ensuring that its programmes met the required standards.
Diche stated how students at IAUE enjoy a robust avalanche of infrastructural development and other facilities, which according to him, was not common among African and some foreign universities.
He pointed out how the news of the provision of a kitchen space for the students in the university erupted in joy when both the economic importance of such rear acts were considered irrespective of any sentiment some people may attach to it.
