The chairman, who is also a senior lecturer in the Department of Mass Communication in the <\/span>same<\/span> institution, also said that the union is poised to collaborate with the wonderful efforts of this administration to achieve the zenith of academic distinction. He maintained that in their nearly 50 years of existence, no administration has distinguished itself in promoting academic scholarship as this, prompting their solidarity visit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are part of those who have reorganized the transformation in UNN; the matchless legacies you have etched in gold, we have come to be part of this historic administration that has lifted UNN from the depth of disquiet to the rapturous realm of atmospheric peace and institutional harmony\u2026the life giving roads, the classy building, the saving grace refurbishments, the excellent partnerships, the staff upgrade, the open door, the sponsorships, scholarships, student support, environmental splendour, administrative sagacity, webometric wizardry, international visibility, professorial proliferation and indeed prompt graduation of students,\u201d the visibly elated don said .<\/span><\/p>\n

The chairman further added that the people of Nkwerre Na <\/span>Isu<\/span> Welfare Union whose membership comprises of engineers, lecturers, technicians, technologists, artists, business executives and scientists are ready to offer their professional services in various areas of administrative and academic enterprise to the university to consolidate the already existing enviable scholarly status.<\/span><\/p>\n

Presenting the award of excellence to the Vice Chancellor, the former chairman of the union, Prof. Innocent <\/span>Uzodinma<\/span> <\/span>Nwadike<\/span>, eulogized the exemplary stewardship of this administration, urging them to keep up the good works. He added that the university has witnessed unprecedented peace and <\/span>tranquility<\/span> as well as academic breakthroughs since the inception of this administration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, a patron of the union, Chief Kingsley <\/span>Anorue<\/span>, while appreciating the efforts of the administration said, if given the chance, he would want the administration to continue for another tenure. <\/span><\/p>\n
