The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has extolled the leadership virtues of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Joseph E. Ahaneku, FAS. He made this commendation during a courtesy visit to the Office of the Vice-Chancellor recently.

The renowned economist posited that he was marveled at the quality of the ongoing projects in the university, describing them as laudable and a product of foresightedness. The former CBN boss encouraged the Vice Chancellor not to relent in his good works in the university despite oppositions. He further prayed that the university, under Prof. Ahaneku will continue to soar higher.

In his response, the Vice-Chancellor expressed his delight at the visit of the professor of econometrics, while commending the department of Business Administration under the leadership of Dr. Lilian Orogbu for achieving the lofty dream of bringing the world class professor to the university. Prof. Ahaneku described Prof. Soludo as one of those great people in the world, which ordinarily cannot be cloned. In his words, “Nigerians lack the goodwill to celebrate our people and present our people to the world”. He noted that the University has been so lucky to have received prominent Nigerians, encouraging us with their piece of advice in order to promote and project this University named after the great Zik of the world, beyond the shores of this Country.

Furthermore, the VC explained that Zik’s inspiration has continued to be the driving force for the University, and opined that the varsity has continued to transcend barriers and break new grounds.

Present also for the visit were, Engr. Alex Unachukwu who represented the Hon. Senator Barau Jibrin, the Dean of the Faculty, Rev. Canon Prof. Kanayo Nkamnebe, LOC Members, amongst others.

The former CBN Governor, Prof. Charles C. Soludo was at the Awka Campus of the University to feature at the Department of Business Administration International Conference as the lead paper presenter.

Speaking during his welcome address at the Conference, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joseph E. Ahaneku expressed his delight on the choice of the lead paper presenter and keynote speaker, Senator Barau Jibrin, who is the Chairman, Senate committee on Tertiary Education and TETfund. He commended the Department of Business Administration for sustaining its international conference series. According to him, the theme of the conference, “Managing a Recessed Economy: Options for Nigeria, captures the serious economic challenges confronting Nigeria, which has been in the domain of public discourse in every segment of the society. He expressed hope that the extensive and exhaustive sub-themes of the Conference would be very incisive in analyzing the country’s economic challenges and formulating the possible ways forward.

The Dean of the Faculty of Management Sciences, Prof. Kanayo Nkamnebe congratulated the HOD of Business Administration, Dr. Lilian Orogbu, the LOC, staff and students of the Faculty for a successful conference. In the same vein, he announced the Faculty’s plan to hold the Pita Ejiofor Annual Frontier Lecture to mark the Faculty’s 25th years of existence.

The Chairman, Prof. Pita Ejiofor in his opening remarks, apologized for his use of the English language for communication, as he has been known to use the Igbo Language for communication. He said the lead paper presenter has been known for his great talents right from his days in the University. He congratulated him for his great achievements, while urging everyone to listen and gain from his wealth of knowledge.

The HOD, Dr. Orogbu thanked everyone, especially the speakers for coming for the Conference. She thanked the VC for his support to the Department, and noted that the theme of the Conference is timely, considering the prevailing economic trajectory at this time of our national socio-economic history. She thanked and prayed that God would take everyone back to their different destinations.

Prof. Charles Soludo, in his lecture titled: “Beyond recession, towards a sustainable economy in Nigeria”, said that Nigeria’s descent into recession and effort to overcome it has remained, due to lack of ideas and mismanagement of funds. This, he said, came about because of the following: low accumulation of foreign reserve, low foreign inflow of capital, inconsistency of foreign currency, low savings, debt accumulation, borrowing to spend on capital, negligence of ideas by experts, faulty models amongst others. Moreso, he noted that the consequences of the recession will take quite a while to filter, hence the need for intellectuals to think through, to get a model of sustainable reliance and blue print that can help Nigeria survive, apart from oil.

The keynote Speaker, Sen. Barau Jibrin, represented by Engr. Alex Unachukwu said the topic came when Nigeria is going through a trying period, which has brought about unemployment, high rate of suicide and suicide attempts, kidnapping, and liquidation of industries, all because of the failed economy. He said there is a dire need for us to be sincere with ourselves in every aspect and that a framework, where stakeholders can come together to review the current situation of the country is required, if we must move forward.

The VC, after the lecture, presented the lead paper presenter and the keynote speaker with their portraits.
