The VC of Michael
Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike Professor Hilary Edeoga has
commissioned eleven brand new 2014 Toyota corolla cars for the official use of
the deans of the eleven colleges in the University. This is in line with his principle
of giving utmost priority to staff and students’ welfare and his transformation
agenda towards making the university to become part of the global University.
In his
remarks, Prof. Edeoga said that his administration has provided five brand new
45 seaters Hyundai buses, 45 brand new Kia Rio and Hyundai cars to serve as
campus shuttle to ease transportation within and outside the University. He
also mentioned the provision of 20 Suzuki small cars for intra-campus taxi while
20 more will be added making it 40 Suzuki cars in two weeks ahead.
Prof. Edeoga also
stated that all the principal officers have been provided with befitting cars
to aid in their official duties. He
reminded the Deans that the vehicles are strictly for official use and advised
them to handle them as they handle their private cars to prolong the life span.
The VC
thanked the staff and students of the university who are dedicated to moving
the university forward, saying that without their support, the management
wouldn’t have achieved much. He also thanked the Federal government for its financial
support which is making it possible to actualize the managements dream.
He further
thanked the genuine gentlemen of the press who have refused to be used by the
few dissidents of ASUU to publish falsehood intended to malign the management
of the University.
The VC lauded
the efforts of Michael Okpara who brought about the college of Agriculture
which metamorphosed into a University Of Agriculture and asked to sustain the
vision he (Michael Okpara) had and said that instead of allowing his dreams to
die, we should fight harder to make sure that it gets to where he never
imagined.
