The new Vice-Chancellor of Veritas University, Abuja, Prof. David Ker has expressed his readiness to ensure that the institution sustains its high quality tertiary education, in line with the tradition of the Catholic Church.
Ker, who gave this assurance in a chat with newsmen at the take-off campus at Obehie, Ukwa West Local Government Area, Abia State, expressed satisfaction at the level of infrastructural development at the campus.
“Everything needed to actualise the mission of providing students with integral and holistic formation that combines academic and professional training had been put in place by the administration of my predecessor, Prof. Justin Ukpong.”
Aside building on the achievements of the past administration, which worked assiduously to achieve the dreams of the founding fathers, Ker noted that his vision for the institution “is to make Veritas rank among the best 10 universities in Nigeria.”
According to him, “Veritas University is also a digital-based institution in terms of administration, teaching and learning. All students have their personal laptops, while staff offices are equipped with modern desktop computers. the entire campus is connected to the internet and all members of staff and students have access to the internet 24 hours. We have all that is required to attain this goal.”
He however noted that the challenge of poor power supply has made the institution to resort to solar energy, saying, “at the moment, the university has 24 hours electricity within the campus, thus creating a good teaching and learning environment.”
