The letter further stated that, “I am directed to inform the Vice-Chancellor that the Ag. Executive Secretary has considered and approved the establishment of the full-time mode of the following programmes to be run in the Main Campus of the University with effect from 2024 12025 academic session.

The programmes shall bear only the approved title and nomenclature and any change will require the approval of the Commission. The University is enjoined to provide adequate human and material resources for the development and growth of the approved programmes”.
When contacted, the Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof INS Dozie, said he would not have succeeded in piloting the affairs of the institution and achieving the much he has done without the support of the Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma, who he said attatched much importance to education and the welfare of youths.
He expressed gratitude to the Governor for giving him the opportunity to serve and his tremendous support that has not only enhanced his performance but also enabled him to record commendable achievements in a very short period.
According to him, “Imo people may not fully appreciate the good works the Governor is doing now but in future when the results will not only be glaring but will yield the desired results.
The highly elated Vice Chancellor pledged to continue with his transformation agenda, pointing out that, in no distant time, KOMU will be one of the best universities in Nigeria and Africa.
