…Says spiritual soundness, academic excellence key to build future
By Bukayo AgboluajeÂ
The Chancellor, Precious Cornerstone University (PCU), Ibadan, and National President of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria [PFN] , Bishop Francis Wale Oke,over the weekend assured the new Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Timothy Adejumo that nobody can threaten his position.
Oke gave the assurance during the unveiling of Adejumo as the second VC of the faith-based university following the expiration of the pioneer VC’s tenure, Prof. Julius Oloke and Pastor Morenikeji Afolabi as Registrar.
The two principal officers were inaugurated by the university’s Pro-Chancellor, Dr. Adebayo Adegoke at the Board Room of the institution, Ibadan.
The chancellor said the new VC did not come through the back door and the processes leading to his emergence were stringent.
Oke said: ‘’The process of emergence of the VC was like a camel passing through a needle. We have got the best among the best. Your position cannot be threatened by anybody because you did not come through the back door. But seek ideas of others.
” A university is where we trade in ideas. Let us be open to ideas and open doors to ideas. We are very passionate about the university. We want to contribute’’.
He emphasised that the university would continue to uphold the best academic standards and high spiritual soundness, saying it has zero tolerance for promiscuity and cultism.
He said: ‘’We want academic excellence with a spiritual foundation for the future. Without the spiritual foundation I would have been a tout and one of those troubling the nation. Spiritual foundation is key.
‘’The two pillars on which the university is standing are academic excellence and spiritual soundness.
‘’There is zero tolerance for promiscuity and cultism. If it is only 10 students we have and meet our standards and that of God we are satisfied’’.
The unveiling was done by the university’s Pro-Chancellor, Deacon Bayo Adegoke.
Responding, the new Vice Chancellor, pledged to engage all stakeholders in the institution.
Calling for their collaboration, he said:’Let us work hand in hand to embrace the opportunities and the challenges that lie ahead of us. With collective effort, I am confident that we shall achieve new heights of success in education, research, and service to our community, and contribute meaningfully to the realms of education and research.
“Your insights will guide us in shaping a vibrant and forward-thinking academic community that will uphold the mission and vision of Precious Cornerstone University, and further elevate our university’s standing on the global stage.
‘’I look forward to walking this path of a fruitful and inspiring tenure with you, and I am confident that with strong faith in God, we will achieve remarkable milestones and impact lives positively’’.
