The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Lawrence Ezemonye, disclosed this in Okada on Tuesday in his welcome address at a lecture to celebrate the 88th birthday of Gabriel Igbinedion, the founder of the university.
Ukraine’s protracted war with Russia has ground to a halt, academic activities across the country, resulting in many international students fleeing the war and seeking for pastures new.
