Acting Vice Chancellor, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University COOU Igbariam, Anambra State, Prof  Kate Azuka Omenugha, has declared that the University has made over 1.5 million naira solely from the sales of vegetables within three months.

Prof Omenugha made the declaration during the presentation of the recently concluded organizational review report at the University’s Senate Chambers in Igbariam, on Tuesday.

According to her, “Our vision is to transform this University into the leading educational institution in the South East, Nigeria, and even beyond!”

Speaking further on the TETFUND’S Institutional Based Research (IBR) program of the University, Pro Omenugha, urged the recipients of the TETFUND’S IBR to seize the opportunity and aim to have their research published in renowned global journals.
