Acting vice chancellor of the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Anambra State, Prof Kate Omenugha, has lamented the inadequacy of students’ accommodation, water and power supply at the Uli Campus, Ihiala, in Ihiala local government area.
Omenugha spoke of the worrisome state of the facilities when she addressed fresh students of the school during an orientation programme on the campus yesterday.
The vice chancellor who was earlier conducted round the campus by the deputy vice chancellor for academics, Prof Osita Chiaghanam, charged the students to always take their studies seriously and eschew frivolities and other vices capable of undermining their overall goal in the university.
She assured them that issues and challenges bordering on accommodation, inadequate water and power supply would be addressed by the university management soon.
Omenugha said, “We are consciously making efforts to ensure that you become better persons in the society which must start by the way you conduct yourselves as an undergraduate, particularly concerning your attitude to refuse disposal which results in unhealthy littering of the environment.
“When we arrived here in the morning, I was sad about your environment and I know that you all intentionally dispose refuse recklessly around the campus. That attitude must stop because it’s a bad legacy that doesn’t speak well of us as a university. Going forward, we shall activate our Students Police Policy to ensure we set examples with some persons for others to learn.”
