| Some Management Staff of Godfrey Okoye University at The Retreat |
This was revealed at the retreat organized by the management of Godfrey Okoye University in preparation for the 2023/2024 academic year.
It was also revealed that any new academic programme as well as major events of the institution will henceforth be held at the main campus of the university
While addressing the gathering at the retreat programme, the Acting Public Relations Officer of the university, Mr Godwin Umeh revealed that this decision was made to speed up the development of the main campus.
Mr. Godwin Umeh stated that the Vice Chancellor of Godfrey Okoye University, Reverend Father Professor Anieke had earlier make this known, including the announcement that smart classrooms have been provided in all the faculties. He then urged the staff to brace up for challenges ahead and not allow the situation in the country to affect their determination to impact quality education in the students.
During the address, he revealed that Reverend Father Casmir Nwokolo has been appointed the new Dean of Students Affairs of the university.
Rev. Fr. Casmir Nwokolo, who conducted the retreat, urged the Staff to be civil in relating with their colleagues.
“You should work on your problems and avoid allowing them to affect other people”. Frustration can force a person to do negative things and you do not need to do strange things to make a difference, Fr. Nwokolo said.
“Avoid spreading gossip that can tarnish people's characters. If you do not want to be judged, you should not judge others, the Priest stated.
He urged the workers to strive always to make a difference in their workplace and avoid discrimination, be team players as well and develop positive mental attitudes that would motivate other people.
According to Reverend Father Nwokolo, the workers should be persistent in prayers to overcome temptations and worries.
He frowned at the attitude of many Nigerian youths who he noted are no longer interested in learning practical skills but are after easy ways to acquire wealth.
The retreat was attended by the principal officers, deans, Directors, heads of departments and other officials of the University.
Students of the University and its group of institutions are expected to return to campus on the 3rd of October this year to commence their 2023-2024 academic year.
