Akan Williams

The Board of Regents (BOR), the apex decision-making body of Covenant University, has appointed Professor Akan Bassey Williams as Acting Vice-Chancellor of the institution.

Professor Williams, Deputy Vice-Chancellor until Tuesday, September 22, 2020, was appointed in acting capacity following the expiration of the tenure of the immediate past Vice-Chancellor, Professor AAA. Atayero.

The Secretary, BOR, Pastor Chioma Okwuanyi, representing the Chancellor and Chairman of the BOR, Dr David O. Oyedepo, announced the appointment of Professor Williams at a meeting with the Management of Covenant University.

Covenant University, according to Pastor Okwuanyi, “is a gift from God and blessed with extraordinary human beings”. He said that the immediate past Vice-Chancellor, Professor AAA. Atayero, had done extremely well as God through him took Covenant to a pedestal that was earth-shaking. The BOR Secretary appreciated God for Professor Atayero’s life, adding that anybody in the position of leadership in Covenant University should emulate the Professor of Communications Engineering.

While noting that the only thing permanent in life was change, Pastor Okwuanyi said that Professor Akan Bassey Williams had been appointed to take over from Professor Atayero in acting capacity. “I believe that grace is on the side of Akan. He’s also an extremely good man. He’s very strict and I believe he’ll do well and he is grounded in Spirituality”.

Pastor Okwuanyi enjoined members of the Management to give the Acting Vice-Chancellor the cooperation the office desired. “I invite the Holy Ghost to order your steps on this assignment that will not fail in your hands,” he prayed for Professor Williams.

The outgone Vice-Chancellor, Professor AAA. Atayero, who expressed his gratitude to the Chancellor and other members of the Board of Regents for giving him the opportunity to lead the University, thanked all that had served in one capacity or the other during his stewardship.

He stated that God had been faithful and had done marvelously well for Covenant while he led the institution. And while he urged members of Management to give maximum support to Professor Wiiliams in his new assignment, Professor Atayero vowed that his enthusiasm, commitment, resolve, and passion to the vision of Covenant would not abate.

Professor Williams, in his acceptance speech, attributed his appointment to God. “I’m almost in tears, the Holy Ghost ministered it to me this morning,” he noted.

The Acting Vice-Chancellor, who stated that he accepted the responsibilities that come with his new position whole-heartedly, however described it as a huge one on his shoulders but he believed he had the backing of the Holy Spirit.

While he urged members of the University not to be discouraged by the last ranking of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, Professor Williams expressed his trust in God to lead Covenant as a University, adding that the vision of the University to become one of the top 10 Universities in the world in a few years’ time would be a reality.

“We are blessed with a crop of faculty and staff who are really working and I’ve seen a lot of sacrifices over the years. I’ve been very humbled; it has been the goodness and the love of God. I appreciate the Board of Regents for giving me this opportunity,” said the Acting Vice-Chancellor.

  7. I Bonus Senza Deposito sono sono una delle maggiori offerte dei Casino Online con licenza AAMS, destinate ai giocatori per attrarre nuovi clienti e dunque nuove registrazioni. Con questa promozione, i concessionari offrono un importo per giocare gratis, senza dover depositare cifre reali sul conto di gioco. Quando si richiede un bonus casino senza deposito, bisogna stare attenti anche ad alcune condizioni particolari. Alcune di esse renderanno, infatti, impossibile ottenere i premi. Tra questi c’è sicuramente il fatto che solo un componente della famiglia può richiedere un bonus senza deposito. Se, ad esempio, due fratelli giocano dallo stesso PC ma con due conti gioco diversi, solo uno dei due potrà usufruire della promozione. Questa clausola è stata creata per evitare che giocatori incalliti facessero iscrivere tutti i componenti della loro famiglia, anche quelli che con il gioco non hanno nulla a che fare, solo per ottenere più premi e bonus senza deposito.
