An Open Letter to the Vice- Chancellor of Nigeria, Prof. Chinedu

Professor Chinedu Nebo

The Vice Chancellor of  
University Of Nigeria, Nsukka.

Dear Vice-Chancellor:

Congratulations on your 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, in classes; you encouraged students to ask questions because you were ready to respond. You taught your students that no question is stupid. That was why lots of your students were willing to ask questions.

You are a man of 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 colleague at Enugu State University, Professor Okorie, the former director of Institute Of Development Center (IDC), are similar to America’s Professors in areas of cooperation, teaching and humility.

In 2008, Nigerian world newspaper stated that your institute for Nigerian Languages in Aba, Abia State promoted our native languages through publishing of Newspapers in Nigeria’s three main languages, namely: Ekere (Igbo), Akede (Yoruba), and Tambari (Hausa). Your idea of publishing the Nigeria language newspapers is a great advantage to Nigerians who have troubles reading English newspapers.
In the United States of America and other developing countries, your publishing of the newspapers is considered as a tremendous achievement.

Finally, keep on doing what you are doing because the God Almighty knows why you were appointed 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 should appointed you to a higher position. Enugu State University Students and graduates missed you and Professor Okorie from Mbaize Imo State of Nigeria.

Thank you for your goodness
