The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS National) after its assessment tour to Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike last Wednesday scored the Vice Chancellor Prof Hilary Edeoga above ninety percent 90% for making judicious use of funds from TETfund in developing the University to its glorious state.
The association earlier this year commissioned its executive to tour round the whole Universities in Nigeria to evaluate the extent the Vice Chancellors make use of the funds available to them by the Tertiary Education trust Fund in their various universities by sighting projects done with TETfund need assessment funds.
The president of NANS National Comrade Tijani Usman Shehu in his speech described Prof Edeoga as an outstanding VC whose integrity and sincerity is not questionable, he said the association is satisfied with the level of projects going on in the University especially the four Lecture Halls with two thousand capacity each, two examination halls, central science laboratory and six additional standard hostels thereby bridging the gap in infrastructural deficit. He told the VC that earlier before the executive’s tour, the association had sent two of its members to Universities to examine TETfund projects and give their report to the national body unknown to the Universities. He said MOUAU scored high and that the executive’s tour has verified the tenacity of their report. He lauded Prof Edeoga for not being selfish like some of his counterparts, but made good use of the funds in creating enabling environment for learning and promotion of Agriculture in Abia state and Nigeria at large.
The association presented an award of credence to Prof Edeoga in recognition of his efforts in repositioning Nigeria’s education standard for better. The president submitted a letter for award from All-Africa Students Union (AASU) as the “2014 Africa Most Outstanding Vice Chancellor” and “2014 Africa Most Outstanding University” in recognition of his outstanding profile in promotion of the students’ welfare. The association also submitted a letter pleading for amnesty for two students expelled by the University.
The Vice Chancellor, Prof Edeoga in his response thanked the executive of NANS and described them as “leaders of today and tomorrow”. He said that university should be a place for the formation and molding of characters through learning, adding that the university is not a place for perfect people and therefore students should not be treated with high handedness in correcting their mistakes. He encouraged them to do what is right always and to be known for one thing (good) and never to have two identities.
