The Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Prof Florence Obi has called on newly appointed Directors and their deputies to come up with a work plan in their various units that will help them achieve the collective dream of building the institution.
Prof Florence Obi who gave the call at a meeting held at the Senate Chamber of the institution said without a work plan, expectations will not be met and achieving of set targets will become an illusion.
She charged the Directors to not only draw a work plan but one that is measurable and feasible and capable of transforming the landscape of the institution when achieved.
The Vice Chancellor further tasked them to embrace team work and to deliberately seek for knowledge and ideas from one another as none is a reservoir of the entire pool or body of knowledge.
Prof Obi said they should take advantage of their appointments which is a call to serve, to consciously advance and profit the university by their skills, knowledge, experience and do good to the great citadel of learning.
She urged them to work for the good of the university, show that they are better informed and aim to make a difference in their area of work.
The Vice Chancellor showered praise on an erstwhile Chairman, Committee of Deans, Prof Benedict Ita whom she described as ideas- driven adding that his initial inputs have added value to what administration has done so far.
The event was marked with a presentation by the Director of Entrepreneurial Development Centre (EDC), Prof Christine Ikpeme and followed by a question-and-answer session.
The Deputy Vice Chancellor Administration, Prof Michael Okom and the Registrar, Mr Gabriel Egbe were management officials that attended the meeting.
