Kate Omenugha takes the reins from Greg C. Nwakoby, whose tenure as vice-chancellor of COOU has come to an end.

Omenugha brings a wealth of experience to her new role, having served in various capacities within the academic sphere.
Her expertise and dedication to education are anticipated to contribute significantly to the advancement of COOU under her leadership.
