ABSTRACT
I
bring the staff, students and well-wishers of the Michael Okpara University of
Agriculture Umudike, greetings of blessings in the New Year. The Almighty God deserves all our praises for
seeing us through the year AD 2021. That
year was full of God’s grace for us all.
We had a successful leadership transition earlier in the year and we did
all we could to carry on from where the administration of our 5th
Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Francis Ogbonnaya Otunta (of Blessed Memory) stopped in
February, 2021. I must pause here to
once again pay tribute to our former Vice-Chancellor who contributed so much
towards the development of our University, but was cut short soon after his tenure
ended. We miss him so much, but we give
the Lord God Almighty, the glory for granting him the grace to successfully
finish his tenure, and smoothly hand-over.
The year 2021 was full of mixed feelings. It accommodated the good, the ugly and the
bad. The University experienced a lot of
slowing down due to low funding of our activities. It experienced slowing down due to adjustment
of staff and students to the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic from which the
whole world was coming out after losing the whole of AD 2020 to lockdown and
quarantine activities.
