Absorbing Ukraine Retuning Students: Gregory University urges Nigerian Schools to follow suit

The chancellor and founder of Gregory University Uturu, Abia State, Professor Gregory Ibe has urged the various Nigerians Tertiary Institutions to emulate the recent kind gestures as displayed by the school, to the Ukraine Retuning Students.

This is even as Gregory University has announced her resolve to absorb Nigerian students whose education was precipitously halted indefinitely, consequent on the extant Russia/Ukraine war.

The release read in detail:

“Rising from the unfortunate situation in Eastern Europe on the war between Russia and Ukraine, a great of number of Nigeria Students pursuing their academic programmes in the Federation of Ukraine have had their educational activities abruptly brought to a halt and suspended indefinitely.

“This sad situation may adversely impact these Nigerian students and cause untoward outcomes in their quest for academic excellence.

“The chancellor and founder of Gregory University Uturu, Professor Gregory Ibe rising from a Management meeting today, March 3, 2022, has by this release, offered continuation of tertiary learning for these affected students of Nigerian heritage who are now gradually making their ‘way back to our fatherland.

“The chancellor, Professor Gregory Ibe, strongly believes this is the right way to go in order to attenuate the plight currently being faced by these Nigerian students who through no fault of theirs are now being caught up in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

“It is pertinent to note that at forward-thinking Gregory University Uturu whose guiding principles are predicated on instilling acceptable social character, sublime learning, ideation and imbuement of knowledge for tomorrow, solutions to challenges are always being thought out and are at semper paratus status for deployment just as these sad situation of Ukraine based Nigerian students have brought about.
