“In that capacity, Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa not only ensured the formulation of sound policies that guaranteed the successful take off of our university, but also championed the campaign for moral reformation, especially among the student population”.
The educationist further commended Ohuabunwa for his personal sacrifices to live up to expectations as the pioneer chairman BOT of the university.
“At his own expense, our pioneer BOT Chairman will carve out time from his very busy schedule and travel from his base in Lagos to personally interact and share fellowship with our students.
“Such impactful sessions will usually commence with the rendering of Mazi Ohuabunwas highly intimidating profile as a way of challenging the students to aspire to achieve more. Testimonies abound of many GUU alumni that trace their successes to the stimulus they received from such encounters with the pioneer BOT Chairman.
