VC Tasks Society On Good Governance

The Vice-Chancellor, Ebonyi State University (EBSU), Prof Chigozie Ogbu, has urged the Public Administration Society of Nigeria (PASN) to ensure good governance for the nation’s development.
Ogbu made the appeal yesterday at Ebonyi State University (EBSU) permanent site, Ishieke, Ebonyi Local Government Area, during a visit by members of PASN as they begin their maiden National Conference in the state.
The Tide source reports that the visit was to officially inform the institution of its forthcoming National Conference with theme: “Public Administration, Capacity Building and Reforms”, and to seek for its support.
Ogbu, who was represented by the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Administration, Prof Happiness Oselebe, said that the theme was key and needed to focus attention on governance particularly.
He said his was expecting the colloquium to address issues in governance where people used positions of authority to assume knowledge of everything.
“PASN, our expectations are high and you have enormous responsibility as far as the conference is concerned.
“Let this be a means where the nation will fall back to and as you come together to brainstorm, we need solutions,” he said.
Ogbu, however, said that the institution would give support to programmes and activities that would bring the university to limelight.
“The university will give support to the conference in the way it can to ensure its success,” he said.
The National President of PASN, Dr Emma Abah, said the symposium would tackle both academic exercise and examine bureaucracy in organisations.
Abah said PASN was an association of scholars, teachers, practitioners and people in the field of public administration to discuss challenges impeding the progress of governance and development of the country.
