The staff of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU), Abia State, have dismissed a corruption allegation against the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Maduebibisi Ofo Iwe, and instead passed a vote of confidence in him.
The vote of confidence was passed during a meeting of all staff of the university with the Vice-Chancellor, held at the 1,600-capacity modern public lecture theatre in the institution.
A motion to that effect was moved by the Director of MOUAU Business School (MBS), Prof. Michael C. Ekwe, and seconded by Dr Ogechi Jubilant Umeh, and the staff expressed their confidence through a voice vote.
The staff took turns to commend Prof. Iwe for his leadership style, openness, transparency and unwavering commitment to the growth and development of the university since 1 March 2021.

Before moving the motion, Prof. Ekwe and Dr Umeh had described Prof. Iwe as a man of peace and integrity, who had worked his heart out in pursuit of institutional peace and stability, and wondered why persons who do not understand how a university operates would allow themselves to be sponsored to smear the VC’s name on social media.
Prof. Iwe had earlier, while addressing the staff, highlighted some of the achievements of his administration, revealing that his administration was able to execute the projects with very limited resources.
He thanked God for being behind many of the achievements recorded.
Prof. Ike Nwachukwu prayed for the successful completion of the Vice-Chancellor’s tenure and for a successor that would take the university to the next level.
