In a remarkable show of solidarity, joy, and visionary alignment, members of the Ụmụada Awgu Progressive Women Association, Mgbowo Branch, led by their illustrious Global President, Amb. Dr. Chinemerem Anyi, paid a heartfelt congratulatory visit to Rev. Kelvin Eze, following the Federal Government’s recent approval of Kelvin Eze University.
This epoch-making development is being hailed as a divine turnaround for Awgu Local Government Area, a region long plagued by dwindling educational infrastructure and systemic neglect. Amb. Dr. Anyi, speaking on behalf of the association, described the emergence of the university as “the dawn of a new era after years of wandering in the wilderness.”
"Our tears have been wiped away," she declared.
"For too long, we have watched our communities sink into obscurity.
Schools that once crowned our land with land with academic excellence, nsmrlt: St. Vincent, Agbogugu, Technical School Ihe, Holy Rosary Awgu, have faded like yesterday's dreams. Even the banks that served us has closed its doors. But today, hope is reborn."
The women, clad in symbolic attire reflecting unity and heritage, sang, danced, and presented Rev. Eze with tokens of appreciation for what they termed “a legacy that will outlive generations.”
Adding her voice to the momentous occasion, Ass. Prof. Becky Nnamani, Global Vice President of the association, praised Rev. Eze for his foresight and sacrificial leadership.
"History will remember this act not just as the founding of a university, but as the rekindling of a people's dignity," she said. "Education is the lamp that chases away the darkness of poverty and ignorance.
With this light now ignited in Awgu, we must ensure it keeps burning bright for generations to come."
In response, Rev. Kelvin Eze, visibly moved, thanked the women profusely and spoke of a vision rooted in equity and impact.
"This is not just a university," he said, "it is a monument of hope, built to lift the children of Awgu from the valleys of limitation to the monuments of opportunity."
He further pledged that any indigent of Mgbowo, and indeed Awgu LGA at large, would be given the chance to study tuition-free, with a post-graduation employment structure designed to allow them to work and gradually offset their academic costs.
Rev. Eze disclosed that the university will offer programs in Management and Social Sciences, Law, Nursing, and a range of other disciplines, including JUPEB. The courses, he emphasized, are carefully chosen to equip students not just with degrees, but with skills for relevance and leadership in a globalized world.
Amb. Dr. Anyi assured Rev. Eze of Ụmụada Awgu Global’s continued support and advocacy, adding that “the wind of transformation now blowing through Awgu will not cease until every child, every woman, every community can rise and shine.”
As the visit came to a close, there was an unshakable sense that history had been made. A seed had been planted. And like the palm tree that flourishes even in the desert, hope for Awgu is once again taking root.
"When the roots are deep," Dr Anyi concluded, "there is no reason to dear the wind."
