UNN VC Details Administration’s Triumph Over Unfinished Projects

In an illuminating revelation, Professor Charles Igwe, Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), unveiled the significant challenge his administration faced upon assuming office in 2019—a staggering 104 unfinished projects left behind.

Interacting with journalists to appraise the accomplishments of his tenure, Igwe highlighted the diverse nature of these projects, funded through avenues like TETFUND interventions, NEEDS assessments, capital allocations, and internally generated funds, underscoring the complexity of the inherited task.

Despite this daunting legacy, Igwe and his team demonstrated unwavering commitment and strategic resource management, successfully bringing closure to 73 of the inherited projects. The remaining 31 projects are actively underway, reflecting the administration’s steadfast dedication to their completion.

Among the notable achievements stand completed initiatives such as the refurbishment of staff quarters, the establishment of the Institute of African Studies’ Cultural Center, and the construction of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry—a testament to the tangible impact made under Igwe’s leadership.

This shift toward research-driven progress signals a promising trajectory for UNN’s advancement beyond physical infrastructure development.

Professor Igwe’s vision encompasses not merely completing projects but also cultivating a vibrant academic environment conducive to groundbreaking research—a testament to his administration’s holistic approach to steering UNN toward greater heights of success and innovation.
