Odinkalu named pro-chancellor as Soludo appoints governing council for Ojukwu varsity

Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra state, has appointed a governing council for Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU).

Soludo appointed Chidi Odinkalu, a former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), as pro-chancellor of the university, and Bianca Ojukwu, a former ambassador and widow of the late Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, as a member of the council.

Other members of the council are Ifeoma Ekwueme, Christopher Ndubuisi, and Oranu Chidume.

In a statement by Christian Aburime, the governor’s media aide, Soludo said the new council is assembled with a focus on excellence, integrity, and strategic leadership.

He said the council is expected to provide guidance and oversight for the continued growth and development of the state-owned university.

On May 9, the governor appointed a five-member governing council for the Nwafor Orizu College of Education in Nsugbe.
