Preshy Emerges as First Female President of MOUAU College of Natural Sciences

 In a historic electoral result, a student popularly known as Preshy has emerged as the first female President of the College of Natural Sciences (CNS) at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU). 

The election of Preshy marks a significant shift in the leadership landscape of the College, which had previously never been led by a female student. This achievement mirrors the university's broader trend toward gender inclusion in 2026, following the recent inauguration of Prof. Ursula Ngozi Akanwa as the institution's first female Vice-Chancellor earlier this month. 

The College of Natural Sciences (CNS), currently headed by Prof. Ejikeme Nwachukwu as Dean, is one of the foundational academic units at MOUAU.

Leadership Mandate: As President-elect, Preshy will lead the CNS student executive body, representing the interests of students across departments such as Biochemistry, Microbiology, and Plant Science and Biotechnology.

University Environment: Her victory comes during a period of administrative transition and modernization at the university under the new Vice-Chancellorship. 

The university community has reacted with enthusiasm, with many describing the win as a "historic milestone" for student unionism at the institution. The win is seen as an inspiration for female students across all colleges to pursue top-tier leadership positions within the university's governance structures.
