Professor Chinedu Nebo

The Vice Chancellor

University Of Nigeria,Nsukka.

Dear Vice Chancellor

Congratulations on your unique appointment as the Vice Chancellor of University of Nigeria, Nsukka. I am writing regarding your goodness to the Nigerian institutions.

In Enugu State University of Science and Technology, it is good news that you treated every student equally regardless of where the student came from, and in class, you encouraged students to ask questions because you were ready to respond. You taught your students that no question is stupid. That’s why lots of your students are willing to   ask question.

Without any contradiction, you are a man of inborn humility; you are as humble as the professors in the United States of America. I admire your system of teaching; it helps the students comprehend what they could not understand with other professors; you are one of the extraordinary intellectuals. Indeed, you and your closest colleague of Enugu State University, Professor Okorie, the former director of Institute Of Development Center (IDC), are both similar to America’s Professors such as cooperation, teaching and humility..

In 2008, Nigerian world newspaper stated that your institute for Nigerian Languages in Aba of Abia State has promoted our native languages through publishing of three main Nigerian Language Newspaper- the Ekere(Igbo), the Akede (Yoruba), and the Tambari  (Hausa). Your idea of publishing the Nigeria language newspaper is a great advantage to Nigerians that have troubles reading English newspapers.

Notwithstanding, in the United States and developing countries, your invention of the newspapers is considered as one of your tremendous achievements.

Finally, keep on doing what you are doing because the God Almighty knows why He appointed you as the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria. I would like to suggest that  whenever your Vice –Chancellorship ends in the University of Nigeria, the president of Nigeria would appointed you as a Minister or something that is higher than the Vice-Chancellor post. Enugu States University Students and graduates missed you and Professor. Okorie, Former ESUT IDC Director.

Thank you for your goodness
