National president of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria [PFN] and chancellor, Precious Cornerstone University, Ibadan, Oyo State, Bishop Francis Wale-Oke, has tasked the institution’s new management on ensuring academic excellence and spiritual soundness of products as they carry out their new assignments.
The bishop who unveiled Professor Timothy Olubisi Adejumo as the second vice chancellor of the faith-based university following the expiration of the pioneer VC’s tenure, Prof. Julius Oloke, urged the team to take cognisance of the two cardinal focuses.
The unveiling which was done by the university’s pro-chancellor, Deacon Bayo Adegoke, took place at the board room of the institution .
“We want academic excellence with a spiritual foundation for the future. Without the spiritual foundation I would have been a tout and one of those troubling the nation. Spiritual foundation is key.
‘’The two pillars on which the university is standing are academic excellence and spiritual soundness.”, he said
Wale-Oke, who is also the general overseer of the Sword Of The Spirit Ministries International, emphasised that the university would continue to uphold the best academic standards and high spiritual soundness, saying it has zero tolerance for promiscuity and cultism.
‘’There is zero tolerance for promiscuity and cultism. If it is only 10 students we have and meet our standards and that of God, we are satisfied,’’ he said.
He admonished the new VC to seek ideas of others in order to move the institution forward just as he assured him that nobody can threaten his position, saying that the processes leading to his emergence was not carried out through “the back door.
