“Increasing the study time is essential to ensure medical students are well prepared for the psychological demands of the game, to enable the students mature psychologically for the profession,” he said.

PROFESSOR Uche Ikonne’s 100 DAYS IN AS VICE-CHANCELLOR ABSU: A CONVINCING WAY TO BEGIN.
Comr.Ahamefula Israel
Senior Advocate of Nigerian Students
According to an American scholar, distinguished Professor and founding Chairman of “The leadership Institute” California, Professor Warren Bennis: “Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality”. Having said that, one can say without doubt, that the first 100 days of Professor Uchenna Eleazer Ikonne in office as Vice-Chancellor Abia State University has been fulfilling with activities geared towards developing the institution.
In just 100 days in office, Professor Ikonne has justified the mandate given to him by taking critical steps that will not only develop the institution but improve the living condition of both staff and students of the University in line with his promises.
For the records, Professor Ikonne took over the affairs of Abia State University as the 7th Substantive Vice-Chancellor on the 1st dayof December 2015.
In a blue print titled My Mandate “Our Story must Change” Professor Ikonne briefly but clearly outlined the vision, mission and strategies of his administration. Our Story Must Change encapsulates the direction and goals of his administration as well as the specific steps to be taken for their actualization.
As a way of recognizing the supremacy of God in the affairs of Abia State University and his unwavering believe in God, Prof Ikonne who has always placed God first in everything he does, held a Solemn dedication Service on his first day in office. This was to hand over the university and its affairs to God in prayers and to seek God’s divine direction.
Professor Ikonne has proved to all that he knows all the potholes in ABSU by the caliber of men and women he appointed as Provost, Deans and Heads of Department. By his style of administration, every staff has been given some administrative duty to perform through the several University Committees constituted by Prof Ikonne. Two of such Committees are set up to wage war against exploitation of Students by staff.
His decision to upgrade the use of I.C.T in the Administration is to meet up with the 21st century academic standard as well as to save students the stress they encounter before accessing their results, course registration, compilation of result and other problems faced during clearance.
It is also worthy of note that unauthorized fees which students were forced to pay during clearance and other academic related activities have been abolished. To ensure effective implementation, he gave out his personal phone contact to all student leaders ranging from course representatives to the apex leadership of the students to enable them report directly any cases of molestation, exploitation and extortion by staff.
He has also made punctuality and regularity to work become part staff of ABSU and with regular payment of salaries, staff now look forward to going to work early.
He has also ensured that professor’s start research teams which is one of the driving force he wants to use in moving his administration. This he calls operation show your driver’s license.
In the area of infrastructural development, Professor Ikonne has left no stone unturned as he has continued with the construction and renovations of lecture halls, laboratories, hostels and re-grassing of school field.
Within his first month in office, Professor Ikonne got full accreditation for the Faculty of Law that was not properly accredited in the last accreditation exercise and full accreditation for the Department of Medical Laboratory and Computer Science respectively.
In line with his mandate of increasing the internally generated revenue (IGR) of the institution, he initiated the production of ABSU Bottle water which is used in the university and its environs.
Recently, Prof Ikonne has the good fortune of taking delivery of nine brand new cars donated by the State Governor, Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu to assist Provost and Deans of Faculties perform their duties. This in addition to the Mass transit buses the Governor approved for ABSU students. All these are the advantages of having an academic as Visitor to the University.
Professor Ikonne’s 100 days in office can be best described with the words of a great leader, and former President of American National Urban League, Donald Mc Gannon, who said that: “Leadership is action, not position”.
It is therefore wise to commend the Governor Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu for the choice of Prof Ikonne as the Vice Chancellor of Abia State University and to encourage staff and students to continue with the support they are giving to him. ABSU will surely be better under Prof Uchenna Eleazer Ikonne as Vice Chancellor.

Espousing Professor Chibuzo Ogbuagu’s Tenure as Vice-Chancellor Abia State University:
Espousing Professor Chibuzo Ogbuagu’s Tenure as Vice-Chancellor Abia State University:
‘’Development at its Peak’’
by: Comrade Ahamefula Israel
Permit me to protect myself from the fire power of seasoned and deft writers as I engage in this suicide mission- the mission to dare congratulate this distinguished technocrat for a job well done. I lack the capacity to attempt the achievements of the mysterious gunman in Abia State University.
I do hope that Professor Uche Ikonne; Professor Udo Nwokocha; Chief Chuku Wachuku and the many Ìrókòs in the world of Academics and Administration would see my gut as a mere child's play. I seek immunity from the reactions that follows when a child insults the Ìrókò tree. I cannot afford the expensive words and historic interjections that would capture Professor Chibuzo Ogbuagu’s achievements in Abia State University in its true light, hence I see that as an insult. However, it is pertinent to discharge the burden cast upon me by my constituency- the little disciples of this ‘’Distinguished Apostle of welfarism’’, as he successfully completes his tenure today as the Vice-Chancellor of Abia State University.
Without an attempt to do a review of the linguistic potency of that word 'Espousing', I shall drop my felicitation message for Professor Ogbuagu as i swing the pendulum of his enduring legacies in Abia State University.
On assumption of office, professor Ogbuagu vowed to return Abia State University to the universally accepted academic tradition and best practices by which any University is associated with.
They are:
• Academic and other related matters;
• Financial Management;
• Infrastructural Development;
• Staff and Student Welfare;
• Approvals of delayed staff promotion;
• To resuscitate the moribund inaugural lecture series;
• To encourage vibrant academic culture through research and community services, to mention but a few.
Theses became Professor Ogbuagu’s roadmap for Abia State University administration from 2010 - 2015. Though it is difficult to define exactly what is meant when we speak of greatness in an individual just as it is difficult to define a genius. By our judgment, Professor Ogbuagu has the best brain among contemporary Institution administrators. This he has done by applying those qualities with which was endowed by nature; he undertakes his task with a dedication and sincerity that is quite remarkable.
I have met Prof Ogbuagu, but he is yet to meet me- in his numerous managerial magic in administration and takes on public issues, I have studied him and realized that he is an unrepentant and unapologetic welfarist.
How else can you describe the man who steals your attention with language and yet, holds no liability? Yes, a deity is a preternatural or supernatural human or entity that possesses miraculous or supernatural attributes, powers or super powers- Prof Ogbuagu is no less one.
If we can tremble before the work of nature, why should we not tremble before a man that exemplifies virtue as far as Academics; politics and Administration is concerned? Indeed as he completes his tenure today as the Vice-Chancellor Abia State University, he deserves a Homer to tell his story.
