LAGOS: NOUN New VC Resumes, Inspects Law library, Other Facilities

THE newly appointed Vice Chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Professor Abdalla Uba Adamu resumed duty on Tuesday at the national headquarters of the university in Victoria Island, in Lagos.

During the official handover on Wednesday, the new Vice Chancellor was conducted round the school premises including the law library by the outgoing Vice Chancellor, Professor Vincent Tenebe who remained jovial throughout the exercise, and other senior management staff.

According to Pinnacle InfoGallery correspondent who witnessed the inspection of the law library, the new VC was impressed that the library was equipped with up-to-date materials stating that despite the fact that material libraries have become ‘anachronistic’ across the world particularly in the Open and Distant Learning system, the institution determinedly equipped the library with offline books in addition to the e-library.

Adamu hails from Kano State and holds a double professorship in Science Education, and Media and Cultural Communication from Bayero University, Kano from where he was a lecturer until his appointment as the Vice Chancellor.

In his general remarks, the new Vice Chancellor pledged to consolidate and even surpass the legacy of his predecessor by taking education to the door step of every Nigerian in pursuit of the UNDP policy on education.
