Alumni & Donors
Being a new university just established in 2011, we do not have alumni yet. However, we have Friends of the university who serve in place of our alumni-to-be, and help to project our image positively beyond the university precincts.
We welcome donations in cash and kind to the university coffers, in grants, scholarships and endowment. We seek to depend not only on government funds, and to reduce our percentage dependence on government from year to year while constantly seeking ways to justify government increase in funding to improve the good work that the university is doing.

Our academic and non-academic staff are a dedicated group of individuals committed to the teaching and welfare of the students, and committed to building a first-class teaching and learning environment where world-class research can also be engaged in.

The communities around Otuoke, Ogbia Local Government, etc. are important to the university, and the creation of a mutually-beneficial town-and-gown enviroment is critical to its mission.
