Students of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture (MOUAU) have expressed frustration as an alleged conflict between the institution’s Pro-Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor delays the convocation ceremony. The ongoing disagreement has reportedly affected preparations, leaving graduating students anxious and disappointed.

According to sources, the infighting centers on administrative decisions and governance issues, causing a standstill in planning the graduation event. Students, who have completed their academic requirements, are calling for swift resolution to enable them receive their certificates.

Many students have taken to social media to voice their concerns, highlighting the emotional and academic toll the delay has caused. Some have warned that prolonged inaction could harm the university’s reputation and demoralize the student body.

University officials have yet to release an official statement addressing the delay. However, stakeholders, including alumni and parent associations, are urging both the Pro-Chancellor and VC to resolve their differences promptly for the benefit of the students.
