Wigwe University has approved the disengagement of the services of Prof Miles Davis as the Vice Chancellor of Wigwe University. We extend our sincere gratitude to Prof. Davis for his service to our institution. We wish him the very best in his future endeavours.

In light of this change, the University has approved the appointment of Professor Marwan Al-Akaidi as the Acting Vice Chancellor of our institution, effective immediately. Professor Marwan Al-Akaidi, who has previously served as both the Dean of the College of Science & Computing and the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research & Innovation) of our University, brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of academic excellence and leadership.

Since joining Wigwe University in January 2024, Professor Al-Akaidi has demonstrated exceptional competence, capacity, character, and a strong connection with colleagues across all levels. His extensive experience in teaching, research, and leadership across multiple countries in Europe and the Middle East positions him well to lead our university during this transition.

We want to reassure you that this transition has been carefully considered to ensure stability and continuity. Our commitment to providing an outstanding educational experience and fostering a supportive and innovative environment for our future leaders as envisioned by our founder, Dr Herbert Wigwe, remains steadfast.

To our students, faculty, staff, and partners, we deeply appreciate your continued support and dedication. Together, we will continue to build on our successes and strive for new heights.

Please join us in welcoming Professor Marwan Al-Akaidi to his new role and in expressing our gratitude to Prof. Miles Davis for his contributions. We look forward to your continued support as we embark on this new chapter.

For and on behalf of Wigwe University.
