Ok

Congrats to him. However VC positions are now very political and most beneficiaries have become so corrupt. Once they get in there, the first thing is to create multiple University accounts for different kind of fees, next is to award tetfund projects to cronies, and needs assessment monies to loyalists. appointments are then given to those from the VCs local government, including the children and wives of politicians, big friends and lecturers who are in the good books of the VC. During accreditation, outrageous monies will be given out to contractors to supply less quality equipments and facilities, then during convocations, some big shots and all political thieves in the country will be approached to donate billions in order to be conferred with honorary degrees. In the end the university remains where it is without any ground breaking progress.
