Professor Aderemi Aaron-Anthony Atayero, a professor
of Communication Engineering has been appointed as
the Vice-Chancellor for the Covenant University.
The Board of Regents, Covenant University’s apex
governing body has approved the appointment of
Professor Aderemi Aaron-Anthony Atayero, as the
fourth substantive Vice-Chancellor of the University.
Secretary of the Board of Regents, Pastor Chioma
Okwuanyi, on behalf of the Chairman of the Board and
Chancellor of Covenant University, Dr. David Oyedepo,
made the announcement on Friday July 15, 2016 at a
special meeting of Principal Officers, Deans, Directors
and Heads of Departments.
Professor Atayero replaces Professor Charles Ayo,
whose tenure elapsed last month.
Speaking on how the Board of Regents arrived on its
choice of Professor Atayero, Pastor Okwuanyi said the
Board, at a recent meeting to consider a number of
eminent professors from Covenant University, decided
to limit the choice to the products of the university in
order to allow for continuity; somebody who has been in
the system who knows where Professor Ayo stopped,
and start building from that foundation.
The announcement was greeted with a thunderous
applause from the audience including Professor Ayo,
who described the day as symbolic in the annals of
history of the university. It would have been
disheartening, he said, if the university had to look
elsewhere to pick his successor.
He acknowledged the contributions of all present, while
expressing satisfaction that he has bequeathed a
university where faculty, staff and students can walk
with their heads held high across the continent of
Africa.
