COOU Governing Council Tours Chinwoke Mbadinuju Campus, Commends Soludo’s Infrastructural Development

The Governing Council of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU) has commended the infrastructural development taking place at its Chinwoke Mbadinuju Campus, Uli, under the administration of the Anambra State Governor and Visitor to the University, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo.

The Council made the commendation during a working visit to the campus on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, expressing satisfaction with the ongoing transformation of the university’s facilities and infrastructure.

The visit formed part of the Council’s ongoing engagements, which commenced on Monday, November 2, at the Igbariam Campus with interviews for the positions of University Bursar and University Librarian before the delegation proceeded to the Chinwoke Mbadinuju Campus in Uli.

The visit was particularly significant as it marked the first time the Governing Council would tour the campus since the relocation of the university’s administrative headquarters from Uli to Igbariam.

Staff and students warmly welcomed the delegation and expressed their appreciation for the Council’s presence on campus.

The delegation was led by the Chairman of Council and Pro-Chancellor, Professor Peter Azikiwe Onwualu, alongside the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Kate Azuka Omenugha, FNIPR, and other members of the Governing Council.

During the tour, the Council inspected several facilities and commended Governor Soludo for his support towards the development of the campus.

Among the major projects inspected were the approximately four-kilometre access road and the newly constructed entrance gate, which have significantly improved the appearance and accessibility of the campus.

The delegation also inspected the university’s 480-room student hostel, which is at an advanced stage of completion. The project represents another major development in the institution’s efforts to provide students with a more conducive residential environment.

Speaking during the visit, the Pro-Chancellor, Professor Peter Azikiwe Onwualu, expressed satisfaction with the developments observed. He commended Governor Soludo and the university management for their commitment to the institution’s growth and infrastructural advancement.

The visit further highlighted the university’s commitment to its 3Vs philosophy of Values, Viability and Visibility, which guides its institutional development and strategic direction.
