VC Solicits Association’s Support To Reposition Varsity
The Acting Vice Chancellor of Rivers State University, Nkpolu Oroworukwo, Port Harcourt, Prof Opuenebo Binya Owei, has called on the members of the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT) to support the various efforts being made by the university management to reposition the institution towards the attainment of set goals.
Prof. Owei commended members of NAAT, RSU chapter, for their invaluable contributions and support towards the realisation of the university mandate.
She made the call while playing host to Executive Members of NAAT who paid her a courtesy visit in her office in Port Harcourt, recently.
She told the delegation of her desire to set up a committee for the establishment of alternative renewable energy system that will boost power supply in the University.
Prof Owei opined that the alternative renewable energy when operational will save the University from the outrageous estimated billing from the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED) and improve both academic and social activities in the university.
Earlier in her speech, the Chairperson of the Association, Comr. Stella Eleba said their visit to the Acting Vice Chancellor was to formally congratulate her on her recent appointment by Governor Nyesom, Ezenwo Wike, adding that the Acting Vice Chancellor has the capacity to take the University to greatness.
