SUG Elections: Panel to investigate alleged manipulations

Elections into the Student Union Government of MOUAU held on December 23, 2009 may have come and gone. But the furore it has thrown up is yet to settle. A group of yet-to-be identified persons has not only petitioned the Vice-Chancellor, alleging arbitrariness and manipulation of the process, they have also widely circulated their petition, which has overt and covert threats to the peace of the Campus.

In order to establish the facts and avert any possible crisis in the University as a result of the petition and allegation, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ikenna Onyido, has proactively set up a high-powered 6-man panel to investigate the allegation and issues raised in the petition.

2010: All hands must be on deck

Welcome to 2010. This is a very crucial year for MOUAU. It is so because: one, goals have been set; two, adequate plans have been made to realize the goals and three, there is a determination to succeed. There seem to be no time to waste because a lot of catching-up would be attempted, given the time lost to national strike in 2009.

The University Management, under the Vice-Chancellor,  Prof. Ikenna Onyido, would try to consolidate on its achievement so far and leave enduring legacies for the University. Very particular attention is now being paid to physical development, and hopefully, we would soon see the results.

So in every aspect of our business here, all hands must be on deck to realize institutional set goals. If yours is to teach, teach; if it is to provide one form of service or another, do so and ensure you earn your pay.

As we work hard and pray, we'll not have any space and time for detractors and distractions.

Happy New Year.
