Varsity Extols VC’s Pedigree, Promises Decency
Authorities of the Federal University, Otuoke have described the new Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof Teddy Adias as an academics with impeccable character.
Speaking during an interview with journalists in Otuoke, in the Ogbia Council Area of Bayelsa State,the Dean, Students Affairs and chairman, Students Disciplinary Committee of the institution, Dr. Joseph Omoro said the Vice Chancellor was a consummate academic.
He said that prior to Adias’s appointment as substantive Vice Chancellor; he was the Deputy Vice Chancellor of the school and one time Provost of the Bayelsa State College of Health Technology, Otuogidi in the Ogbia Council Area.
Omoro noted that the new Vice Chancellor and his predecessor, Professor Seth Accra Jaja were instrumental to the monumental achievements and successes the school recorded in recent years,saying that the university holds the incumbent Vice Chancellor in high esteem.
“Professor Adias is a consummate academics, before his appointment, remember, he was the deputy vice chancellor of the school. But remember that before he transferred his services to the Federal University, Otuoke, he was in the Niger Delta University”, he said.
“And so, the new VC knows a lot about university administration, even before going to the NDU,he was the Provost of the Bayelsa State College of Health Technology. All we have today in this university can be attributed to him and the immediate past vice chancellor”, he added.
Speaking against the backdrop of the trending ‘sex for grades’ saga in some universities across Africa,Omoro hinted that the institution was described as a family university from its inception.
He emphasised that the relationship between students and lecturers of the school with the reports at his disposal had been cordial.
“Records available to me also have proven that as it were, lecturers do not harbour sinister motives against any student of the school. This was made possible by our popular maxim, ‘in loco parentis’(we’re standing in place of the parents) on whose premise both academic and non-academic staff of this school discharge their duties. And so lecturers and students relationship has even been more excellent than expected. We’ve been consulting the Students Union Government (SUG) in key decisions”.
