The newly appointed Vice Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (NAU) in Awka, Anambra State, Prof Benard Odoh, has announced N70 billion investment plan for the institution within his first five years in office.
Odoh, who resumed on Tuesday, said he would convert the university’s kitchen to his official residence pending the completion of the permanent Vice Chancellor’s residence.
He said he would not be a VC and live off campus.
He said N10 billion would be generated through public-private partnerships for co-funding critical infrastructure and Corporate Social Responsibility.
Odoh said: “We shall build a 150-room hotel with events and meeting rooms.
“We will also embark on the implementation of Coordinated Renewable Energy Solutions by instituting N100million quasi- endowment fund to support research in renewable energy.’’
