The Vice Chancellor of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE), Prof. Okechuku Onuchuku, has lauded the Tertiary Institutions Women Association (TIWA), Rivers State Chapter, for the role it plays in moulding students across tertiary institutions in the State.
Onuchuku, who lauded the women recently during a courtesy visit at the Council Chambers of the institution, affirmed that without the morals they teach, most students would have taken the wrong path.
He noted that the success story recorded in terms of academic performance and good behaviour on the path of the students could not have been possible without the moral support of women.
While acknowledging the benefits of the digital world to knowledge expansion and information dissemination, the Vice Chancellor expressed regrets that the internet, which should ordinarily be a source of joy to people, has become otherwise.
“The internet and knowledge explosion has become a source of serious concern as it is doing more harm to children exposed to it unhindered”, he stated.
He, therefore, advised mothers to constantly be on the watch and monitor the kind of information that their children are exposed to.
In her speech, the President General of TIWA, Rivers State Chapter, Barrister Uchenda Bibian Okogbule, noted that they had come to rub minds, synergise and generate ideas that would help them build the association.
She congratulated the Vice Chancellor on his appointment, adding that they were privileged to be hosted by the University.
Earlier, the President of university of Education Women Association (UEWA), Mrs Chika Onuchuku, informed the Vice Chancellor that the women had come to announce their presence on IAUE campus with the courtesy visit before proceeding to the TIWA quarterly meeting hosted by IAUE.
