Pastor Paul Enenche Backs MOUAU VC, Pledges Support for Leadership and Student Development Agenda

The Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Paul Enenche, has pledged strong institutional and moral support for the administration of the Vice-Chancellor of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Ursula Ngozi Akanwa, reinforcing a growing alignment between faith-based leadership and academic governance.

Enenche made the commitment during a courtesy visit to the Vice-Chancellor on March 21, 2026, as part of his nationwide campus outreach initiative focused on youth engagement, character formation, and value reorientation.

He stated that his presence at MOUAU was driven by a broader mandate to shape the next generation of leaders, emphasizing that his support would be directed at ensuring the success of the university’s leadership and its developmental objectives.

Accompanied by his wife, Becky Enenche, and members of his pastoral team, Enenche described the visit as the beginning of a new phase for the institution, marked by increased emphasis on moral discipline, spiritual growth, and intentional character development among students.

He warned that failure to address value formation early in life often results in entrenched behavioral patterns that are difficult to correct in adulthood, underscoring the need for proactive engagement at the university level.

Responding, Akanwa described the visit as timely and aligned with her administration’s broader vision of holistic education. She reaffirmed that beyond academic excellence, her leadership is prioritizing the development of responsible, disciplined, and value-driven graduates capable of contributing meaningfully to society.

She stressed that early character formation remains a strategic imperative, noting that sustainable societal progress depends on raising individuals with strong ethical foundations.

The engagement signals an emerging framework of collaboration between religious institutions and universities, aimed at integrating moral instruction with formal education to produce well-rounded graduates equipped for leadership and societal impact.
