The newly appointed Head of the Public Relations Unit in the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike, Mr Ubadire Aguwa has affirmed that the institution, under the leadership of the Vice-chancellor, Prof Maduebibisi Ofo Iwe, is in route to a global space transformation journey aimed at making it a Center of Excellence in academic achievements in the country and beyond.
Aguwa mentioned that since Prof. Maduebibisi assumed office in 2021, various strategic steps have been embarked upon to reposition the institution at both national and global scale and added that one of the biggest imprints the Vice Chancellor would leave behind is moving the school to its permanent site. He mentioned, in confidence, that the structures were at varying levels of completion.

Aguwa who paid a courtesy visit to Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists at the State Capital, Umuahia, disclosed his ambition to solicit for collaboration from the Chapel as this is essential to let the whole world be aware of the renewing that is going on within the school, promising that there wouldn’t be any communication gap between the two bodies.

The PR guru asked the union to maintain and enhance the publicity which had been bestowed on the institution by Journalists over the years and stated their desire to hear the school’s part in any story concerning it with the assurance of review and improvement where necessary.

Chief Obinna Ibe, Chairman of the Chapel welcomed and appreciated Aguwa’s efforts at recognizing the crucial relationship with the Chapel which shows that he has started well and noted that the Chapel though experiencing a lack of office equipment and certain logistics, is geared towards facing the challenges head on while giving their full professionalism and ethics to the role as required.

Steve Oko, the Vice Chairman of the Correspondent’s Chapel emphasised on how the members of the Journalism community have been publicizing and championing the activities of the institution for which he urged Aguwa to ensure the relationship is revamped for a more collaborated work.
