Mr. Donald Isaac Udoh, Vice-President of the South-south Chapter of the National Open University of Nigeria Alumni Association (NOUNAA), led a delegation on a work visit to the Port Harcourt Study Centre of the university.
Accompanied by his predecessor, Sir T. I. Nzerem, Udoh conducted the visit on behalf of NOUNAA’s National President, Mr. Ifeanyi Kingsley Obukwelu, to assess the centre's challenges and explore potential assistance from the alumni association.
Udoh announced that the tour would cover all 16 study centres in the South-south region, with the aim of gathering information to report back to the national executive for further action.
Dr. Theresa Ucheoma Ettu, Centre Director, welcomed the delegation and outlined the centre's major challenges, including security issues and inadequate power supply. She requested assistance in several areas: installing solar panels to offset high energy costs, setting up CCTV cameras to address security concerns, and constructing a sit-out pavilion to provide students with a designated area for social activities and events.

Ettu highlighted that the high cost of premium motor spirit (PMS) and diesel has made the installation of solar panels a pressing need, while frequent burglaries have underscored the importance of CCTV cameras. Additionally, she noted that a sit-out pavilion would alleviate overcrowding on the streets during significant events such as convocation, matriculation, and examinations.
