IAUOE May Relocate More Faculties To Ndele Campus
The Vice Chancellor of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Rumuolumeni, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Prof Ozo-Mekuri Ndimele has given indications that the management of the institution may relocate some faculties from the main campus to the Ndele campus of the university.
Although, the vice chancellor did not announce the affected faculties that would be moved to Ndele campus, he said the clarification was to correct media publications that the school has concluded arrangements to remove the only remaining Faculty of Agriculture in the campus.
Prof Ndimele stated this while responding to the plea by the Chairman of Emohua Local Government Area, Chief Tom Aliezi when he led some management staff of the institution to pay a courtesy visit on the council boss recently.
He said the aim of the visit was to plan with the council boss on how to beef up armed security at the Ndele campus as a measure to check and stop increasing rate of criminal attacks on the students in the campus by unidentified hoodlums.
The IAUOE Vice Chancellor commended the council boss for his concerted efforts and his interest to end the invasion of the campus by hoodlums through the assurances to increase police patrol within and outside the Ndele campus.
“The meeting centred basically on how to minimise the security threats and encroachment at Ndele campus”, he stated.
Earlier in his speech, the council chairman, Chief Tom Aliezi said his administration was working with the host community to establish a police station in the campus that would work with other security agencies that would ensure adequate security in the area.
He pleaded with the VC to bring in more faculties to the campus, adding that such move would attract more development and growth in the area.
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.
