Q- sir,
the first promotion done under your administration, which was due by
October 2014 came in good time unlike what obtained in previous years.
How come?Ans- Recall that during the first interaction of this administration with UNIZIK staff, I informed that hard work will be rewarded. UNIZIK staff were called upon to rededicate themselves to duty, embrace commitment, good ideals and be focused in their services to the Institution.
I have been in the system for quite a long time and I know where the bottle necks are and as such I know how to overcome most of them. All Units were informed last year by the Promotions Appraisal Committee to bring up appraisal matters on time as the administration has decided that it was useless waiting for arears when due process can be followed if all concerned do their part in good time. All Units who brought up their promotion issues on time as advised were promoted accordingly without delay. And we promise that this tradition will continue in the years ahead.
Q- Work has started in earnest on the road to the beautiful gate, what do you have to say about that?
Ans- The beautiful gate is the welcome gate to the University. I want to thank the Anambra State Governor, Chief Dr. Willie Obiano for his support and his predecessor Mr. Peter Obi for donating the sum of one hundred million Naira for the road rehabilitation. We want to reconstruct the road to give it a befitting look and a new look to the University. We matched the fund given to us by Anambra State Government with our own development fund in order to give it a befitting touch, both aesthetic features and deserved material enforcement. We are going to make sure we conclude it in this dry season, before the rains come heavily.
Q- A little while ago, you promised that your administration will install more Sports Structures (Courts, Indoor Sports Complex etc) within the Campus.
Ans- Sports and sports engagement are issues I cherish very well. Sports is a strong passion in my life and I know the youth need structures like that to keep them reasonably engaged and off evil vices.
Considering the population of students on this Campus, such sports structures are needed. The young should also be allowed to excel in sports as well as academics. Presently, we have put up adverts to that effect and we have received TETFUND intervention fund from the Federal Government which will go a long way in starting work in the area of sports structures. These will provide facilities for staff and students to discover their talents.
Q- Prof, will there be Convocation Ceremonies in UNIZIK this year 2015?
Ans- Yes, there will be Convocation Ceremonies towards the end of the year. Preparation is already on with the Constitution of all relevant committees, gathering data, compiling and computing results. Efforts are on ground to put all necessary instruments and documentation needed on ground. The Convocation Committee will soon be inaugurated.
I believe Convocation should be an annual event like matriculation. You usher the students in and welcome them through matriculation, the ones leaving should also be bid farewell as they leave, not years after they have left. This administration hopes to make Convocation a more consistent event than it used to be.
Q- Sir, this will be your first Convocation as VC, what do you have to say to that effect? What are we to expect?
Ans- Let’s wait and see!
Q- Digressing a little Sir, why give screening exam for CEP? Is it an NUC mandate or the internal decision of UNIZIK?
Ans- It is a UNIZIK Management decision to define our standard and screen the best of the lot. Universities all over the world define their standards. Graduates of UNIZIK carry the same certificate, so why give a lower standard at the point of entry for CEP. This screening exercise makes it more authentic, more professional and academic. In the past people began to think that CEP was for idle lazy people who only had to present their O’ Levels to be admitted. But it behoves us to right that wrong impression by selecting the best trainable candidates for the trainers. It is important for us to be sure that these ones who we admit will stay in school and complete their programme, some abandon their programmes half way in the past because they got it on a platter of gold and so they commonize the admission. UNIZIK does not need unteachable and unnecessary nuisances. We need to select the right people who really need the degree they came to study for and not people who will while away their time.
There was also very high subscription for UNIZIK CEP and as NUC had stipulated that only a certain percentage of the regular students should be taken, we had to do a thorough and fair screening so that no one will feel left out or cheated.
Q- Sir, you always speak about University Culture, zero tolerance for malpractice of all kinds.
Ans- This administration will celebrate excellence and hardwork and will not hesitate to punish those who will want to tarnish the good image of this Institution. Our watch word remains Excellence, Discipline, so it is zero tolerance to indiscipline.
It is our decision to clean up all units, departments, faculties of those who diminish the reputation of this University. We have commenced and we will not stop at that. We are ready to resist anybody who wants to give the University a bad name. We must uphold the good legacy of our founding father Great Zik of Africa, the Owelle of Onitsha whose name the University is named after.
This is a University where certificate is earned and staff are advised to live above board. Even our students should watch it and not fall foul of our high standards. The bad eggs on all sides cannot be hidden for long; their stench will definitely give them away.
Q- Sir, what do you see as you look into the future? Four years from now, what do you hope to leave as a legacy in UNIZIK after five years?
Ans- My dream and vision is to leave UNIZIK as a University where students will pass through and be job creators, not job seekers. To leave a work force of conscientious, disciplined, hard working men and women. To produce professionals who need not to be ashamed but who will distinguish themselves and be the best in what they’ve been trained to be no matter the area. To enshrine and maintain good academic culture, good academic standing, optimize our activities, to provide facilities for both staff and students to discover the best in them, talents, skills, crafts. To practice what we teach/preach, from UNIZIK we can turn around our nation’s economy by putting down in practical terms what we have in our heads, attach price tags to what we have put together, take the lead in driving industrialization, technological advancement and entrepreneurship. As we achieve this, we will help in removing our nation from being a bursary nation (supported by others), from being a consumer nation to a strong economic stakeholder in the world. These are what I believe and see of UNIZIK in the next few years. I see a UNIZIK that will be the focal and starting point where the economic and industrial emancipation of the nation and Africa in general may take off.
VC CHARGES THE NEWLY CONVERTED STAFF TO REDEFINE THEIR WORK CULTURE AND BE ROLE MODELS
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Ahaneku, FAS has charged the newly
converted staff of the University to redefine their work culture and be
role models in the society.
The Vice-Chancellor gave this charge at an orientation programme organized for the newly converted staff of the University held at the Auditorium which was aimed at acquainting the staff on basic rules and regulations guiding the University system.
Prof. Ahaneku while congratulating the beneficiaries on their successful conversion urged them to be law abiding and committed to service. He encouraged the staff to re-double their commitments to duty through good work attitude and obedience to authority.
The Vice-Chancellor however frowned at the nonchalant attitude of some of the newly converted staff as regards their commitment to assigned duties. He described such attitude as irresponsible.
He reassured members of staff of the administrations readiness to celebrate hardwork and staff who have distinguished themselves through selfless service to the University and the society.
In the same vein he admonished the newly converted academic staff to rededicate their commitment to academics stressing that the University will not want people who will act like inhibitors in the value change of the institution.
He further implored the beneficiaries to make good use of the new ranks to improve quality of service in the University.
The University Registrar, Barr. C. C. Okeke while addressing the staff emphasized that the new position calls for discipline and responsibility and urged them to be diligent in their duties and to continue in the good works that earned them the elevation. He also expressed appreciation to the VC for his support in making the conversion exercise a reality. The Deputy Registrar (Personnel), Dr. Hyacinth Isidienu further charged the newly converted staff to always get acquainted with the University’s system as well as being up to date with the day to day administration of the Institution.

DESIST FROM INSUBORDINATION, REGISTRAR WARNS DEFAULTING STAFF
The University Management has received with dismay a lot of
complaints of insubordination by some staff and has warned the
defaulting staff to desist from such act. According to a letter signed
by the Registrar Barr. C. C. Okeke, he noted that the insubordination is
noticed especially among those on the Clerical and Executive Officer
Cadre.
According to him, some of such staff refuse to perform duties assigned to them on the grounds that such duties are degrading for their ranks. They would rather sit and watch the air or television and chat away precious time instead of doing the needful to earn their salaries.
Speaking on the Federal Government reform of its work force in 2006, the position of Office Attendant/Cleaners was phased out of all Federal Government Establishments, including Universities. Out of magnanimity of the University Management, all Office Attendants and like staff who had additional qualifications were converted to Clerical and Executive Officer Cadres in order for them not to lose their jobs. Such staff and their equivalents were to dualize as Office Attendants. The days of Cleaners and Office Attendants as career cadres in the University System have, therefore, gone.
Henceforth, he said that any further complaints against any staff will attract severe disciplinary action.

UNIZIK MANAGEMENT PROMISES TO PROVIDE MORE TEACHERS FOR UNIZIK NURSERY AND PRIMARY SCHOOL
The Management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University has promised to provide
more teachers for the University’s Demonstration Nursery and Primary
School. The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Ahaneku, FAS made the promise
when the P.T.A of UNIZIK Nursery and Primary School paid him a courtesy
call.
According to the Vice-Chancellor, the new teachers will fill the vacuum in the required subjects to enable the School continue in its path of excellence. While promising that the Management will wade into the school’s transport issue, Prof. Ahaneku promised also to provide chairs and desks for the pupils.
Prof. Ahaneku thanked the P.T.A for assisting the University in making the Primary School look like a true Demonstration School. He said that the primary school serves as workshop for the Faculty of Education. The UNIZIK Demonstration Primary School, he said, ought to set standard for other Primary Schools to follow.
Earlier in his speech, the Chairman of the PTA, Prof. Emeka Ezeonu appreciated the Vice-Chancellor for tremendous improvement in the University. He also thanked him for not relenting in the pursuit of excellence. He went further to enumerate all the challenges facing the school and to plead for assistance.

UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT FROWNS AT ILLEGAL WRITING OF ATTENDANCE FOR COLLEAGUES
The attention of the Management has been drawn to illegal writing of names for colleagues as a way of escaping the sanctions of lateness to work. It has also been observed that most of the queries from SERVICOM emanate from this act.
University Management has warned that, henceforth, defaulters in this act would be seriously penalized. The act of writing names for colleagues and signing false signature is not only unethical but also criminal. To be fore-warned is to be fore-armed.
2015 UNIZIK INAUGURAL LECTURE SERIES
The Nnamdi Azikiwe University’s Inaugural Lecture Committee has been reconstituted with Prof. Amechi Oyeka as the Chairman of the committee. The Committee has scheduled four inaugural lectures in 2015 as follows:
(1) April, 30, 2015 Prof. Emeka F. Ezeonu
Department of Biochemistry
(2) June 25, 2015 Prof. Tracie Utoh-Ezeajughi
Department of theatre Arts
(3) October 29, 2015 Prof. Cecilia Eme
Department of Linguistics
(4) November 26, 2015 Prof. Richard Uwakwe
Department of Medicine
As is the tradition in the University system all over the world,
every Professor is expected to deliver an inaugural lecture before
retirement, preferably within one year of attaining the rank of
professor. The Committee has observed that apathy as well as the cost
of preparing and delivering the lectures may have contributed to the
very low rate of inaugural lecture presentation in Nnamdi Azikiwe
University.
Fortunately, potential inaugural lecturers can now heave a sigh of relief as the current University Administration headed by Prof. J. E. Ahaneku as the Vice-Chancellor, has taken the bull by the horn by undertaking to cover the cost of all expenditures involving printing and publication of the inaugural lectures, invitation cards, banners, posters, entertainment of guests at the venue of the lecture, publicity and decoration of the venue for the lectures.
The Committee hopes that with this development, our professors are now better motivated to deliver their inaugural lectures, a necessary University tradition which every professor should endeavour to uphold.
The detailed uniform format for preparation of the final printed copy of the inaugural lecture by the Committee will be made available to all interested professors. All professors who have not yet delivered their inaugural lecture are encouraged to take advantage of this window of opportunity offered by the Vice-Chancellor and the University Management and inaugurate themselves. Interested professors should apply to the Chairman of the inaugural Lecture Committee indicating the title of the lecture and the suggested date of presentation. All enquiries should be directed to the Secretary of the Inaugural Lecture Committee, Ogonna Nwokeke, Deputy Registrar, Senate.
