The Vice-Chancellor of Wigwe University, Professor Marwan Al-Akaidi, earlier today received Professor Jonathan Mbachaga, an accomplished Professor of Applied Theatre and Development Communication, on a courtesy visit that underscored the institution’s growing appeal to leading academics and its commitment to fostering a culture of scholarship and excellence.

Professor Mbachaga was received by Professor Al-Akaidi, alongside the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Chinyere Ukaga, and the Dean of the College of Arts, Professor Andrew Ate.

During the visit, Professor Mbachaga expressed his admiration for Wigwe University’s bold vision of redefining higher education in Africa. He noted that the University’s commitment to innovation, excellence, and transformative learning inspired his decision to donate copies of his published works to the University Library.

According to him, the donation reflects his commitment to supporting scholarship, promoting academic excellence, and advancing the University’s mission to nurture future-ready graduates equipped to solve Africa’s most pressing challenges.

Receiving the books on behalf of the University, the Vice-Chancellor commended Professor Mbachaga for his thoughtful contribution, describing the donation as a valuable addition to the University’s growing academic resources. The books were subsequently presented to the Dean of the College of Arts for onward transmission to the University Librarian for cataloguing and inclusion in the University’s library collection.

The visit and donation further reflect Wigwe University’s ongoing commitment to building a vibrant academic community where knowledge creation, collaboration, and intellectual exchange thrive. As the University continues to attract distinguished scholars and expand its academic resources, partnerships, and contributions such as these play an important role in enriching the learning experience for students and strengthening the institution’s pursuit of global academic excellence.
