Meet Ogbogbo: The Visionary Leader Inaugurated as ADUN's VC

Prof. Christopher Bankole Ndubisi Ogbogbo was officially appointed as the Vice-Chancellor (VC) of the Admiralty University of Nigeria (ADUN) yesterday, putting an end to allegations of irregularities in the selection process made by concerned parties.

Despite trailing Marine Biology Professor Lucian Obinna Chukwu, who received the highest score of 83.41 percent, Prof. Ogbogbo was chosen VC with strict adherence to the institution's Establishment Act.

The inauguration was conducted at the Faculty of Law auditorium, ADUN campus, Ibusa, Delta State, by renowned legal scholar Prof. Nelson Ojokwu-Ogba. Following the inauguration, the newly appointed VC was given the university law and other working documents by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Rear Admiral MM Abdullahi, to serve as a guide for the next five years.

The institution's Registrar, IM Mankilik, thanked the VC in his opening remarks, stating that his appointment was well-earned and an indication of an official leadership transition in ADUN. "Your appointment demonstrates your unwavering dedication to the advancement of higher education, visionary leadership, and academic prowess," he said.

The registrar expressed hope that the incoming VC will inspire ADUN to achieve extraordinary things. "I'm honored to accept the role of VC of ADUN; I shall be guided by my vision for ADUN, which is to nurture a university that is locally impactful and internationally competitive," Prof. Ogbogbo remarked in his inauguration speech, expressing his happiness at the appointment.
