The university dons under the aegis Forum of Anambra Professors, FAP, stated that the appointment of Amb. Mbadiwe is a giant leap to further guarantee outstanding teaching and learning standards and make Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka the best of its kind in Nigeria and beyond.
“Our Forum appreciates President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for choosing best hands for the much-needed multisectoral development and productivity in the country. “It is a loud testament of the commitment and vision of the Tinubu administration towards the development and advancement of the education sector in Nigeria. It is fortuitous that the son of the legendary Chief K.O. Mbadiwe has been given the mandate to turn around the fortunes of a university named after his late father’s bosom friend in the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons , Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe.
It further noted that Amb. Mbadiwe will effectively connect policy making with implementation given his experience as a politician with his long-standing skills in Planning, Research and Strategy at the Presidential level.The Anambra Professors charged Amb. Mbadiwe to put in his best as usual in his new task so as to ensure that University is moved to its much-desired next level of development as envisioned by its founders.
