The Vice Chancellor of the University of Delta, Agbor, Prof. (Mrs.) Stella Chinye Chiemeke, has declared that the appreciable growth recorded in the university since its inception four years ago is the product of collective efforts of the Delta State Government, management, staff, students, host communities, and other stakeholders.
The Vice Chancellor stated this on Monday, September 1, 2025, during the September edition of the UNIDEL Monthly Intercessory Prayer Series in Agbor Campus. Prof. (Mrs.) Chiemeke particularly thanked all staff for supporting her management team in many areas, including prayers, and stressed that the prayer program was conceived to bring stakeholders together to seek God’s intervention in the university’s affairs and individual lives.
The Vice Chancellor called on members of the university community to continue praying so that the growth witnessed in the university will be replicated in the lives of staff and students individually and collectively.
In a brief exhortation titled “The Power of the Tongue”, Mr. Best Ugala urged members of the university community and the general public to use their words to praise God, commend good deeds, and offer constructive criticism while refraining from gossip, backbiting, and destructive speech.
The prayer program, attended by the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Prof (Mrs) Patricia Etuna Mbah, the Registrar, Barr Richmond Omagbemi and other key officials of the University, staff, and students, featured prayers for the peace and prosperity of Delta State as it marked thirty-four years.
Also at the event was Prof. Patrick Ijeh, Head of Mass Communication, Media and Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences of the University.
