VC Reconstitutes Certificate Verification C’mittee
Vice Chancellor of the
Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST), Port Harcourt, Prof. Blessing Didia, has reconstituted the Certificate Verification Committee of the institution to address the issue of unverified certificates.
Inaugurating the committee last week, the VC explained that it was necessitated by the need to address a backlog of unverified certificates, which he observed on assumption of office as Acting Vice Chancellor in 2015.
He explained further that given the onerous task of developing the university which is the main focus of the management, the need for a committee to handle certificate verification became imperative.
The VC, therefore called on the committee to “handle task with diligence and sincerity, within the terms of the reference.”
According to him, members of the committee “are expected to verify the O’level certificates of all students admitted by the university and submit periodic reports to the VC and Senate.”
Speaking on behalf of members, Chairman of the committee, Dr. Iyenemi I. Kakulu thanked the VC for reposing confidence in them as exemplified by the appointment.
“We want to assure you that we will take the job seriously, and deliver within the terms of reference,” she said.
Members of the committee, who are sub-Deans of the various faculties are Dr. A. O. Orji, Mr. Macauley Opuwari, and Mr. J. T. Iminabo.
Others are Dr. S.P. Asawo, Mr. E. G. Nkwo, Mrs Tarimabo-Otobo Regina, Barr. Edwyn E. Jonathan, and Mrs Elizabeth Abibo, who is to serve as secretary.
The River State Commissioner for Education, Dr Peters Nwagor has called on media practitioners in Rivers State to deploy their various communication platforms toward promoting government programmes and policies aimed at achieving sustainable development in the education sector. Dr. Nwagor made the appeal when members of the Etche Ethnic Practicing Journalists (EEPJ) paid him a courtesy visit in Office in Port Harcourt. The Commissioner emphasized the strategic role of the media in shaping public perception, promoting government initiatives, and supporting policies capable of improving the quality of education and human capital development in the state. According to him, constructive media engagement remains essential in creating public awareness on educational reforms, students’ welfare, infrastructural improvements, and other interventions being implemented by the state government.
