I HAVE JUSTIFIED MY APPOINTMENT – PROF. JOSHUA OGUNWOLE
The Vice Chancellor, Bowen University, Iwo in Osun State, Prof. Joshua Ogunwole has identified different areas of administration and human endeavours where his impacts clearly justified his appointment.
The Vice Chancellor disclosed this on Wednesday during the third edition of a Town Hall meeting held at Chris Alabi Lecture Theatre in preparation for the forthcoming 15th Convocation Ceremony of the institution on Saturday.
Ogunwole, a Professor of Soil Science was appointed as the VC, Bowen University, Iwo, on 1st of August, 2018.
Prof. Ogunwole who emphasized his capacity to finding lasting solution to daring challenges of the institution, especially in examination malpractice, said the first set of Physiotherapists that were inducted went through critical examinations that were completely devoid of malpractices.
According to him, Bowen University under his watch is not relenting in the area of research as that singular effort has won a reasonable funding for the institution.
Within his period of appointment as the Vice Chancellor, the institution has also shifted attention from only skill acquisition to “soft acquisition” with a position that it is not necessary to attend a University before learning some trades and apprenticeship such as sewing, baking, shoe-making, etc, saying the World has shifted to the use of technology.
According to the VC, one of the cardinal secrets of excellence, which is now radiating in every aspect of the schooling system of the institution is discipline on the parts of members of Staff and the students.
The VC who was also of a firm belief that the institution will benefit immensely when the Staff members are happily disposed to their varying assignments said that the management is thinking strongly to put more smiles on the faces of the Staff, saying they will laugh soon.
