LONG VIEW OF THE CENTRE
The journey to have an Igbo Centre that will be driven by true Igbo spirit of diligence, power, love and promotion of the Igbo essence started as soon as Prof. Nwajiuba took over mantle of leadership as 2nd VC of the young and most serious public university in Nigeria. The vision was further enhanced by his creation of a special committee on Igbo Centre, followed by the historic international zoom conference hosted by the committee and led by Prof. Chinedum Nwajiuba himself, in July, 2020, with prominent Ndigbo, even in the diaspora, contributing ideas and support for the establishment of an Igbo Centre to behold. Chief Osita Chidoka, Former Minister for Aviation and Chief Nnia Nwodo, President General of OHANEZE NDIGBO, were lead speakers.
