He enjoined parents to regularly check the progress of performance of their children, insisting that students who do not meet the 1.5 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) benchmark in their first year and did not improve after a second opportunity in year two would be advised to withdraw for academic failure.

Prof. Onuchuku further informed the matriculating students that the university has a vibrant sports unit and encouraged those interested in sports to leverage the opportunity it offers to showcase their skills.
