Varsity makes N1.5m profit from vegetable sales in 3 months

The Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU) Igbariam, Anambra State has made over N1.5 million from the sale of vegetables in three months.

Prof. Kate Omenugha, Acting Vice-Chancellor of the university, made the disclosure during organisational review report at the university’s Senate Chambers in Igbariam, Anambra on Thursday, August 29, 2024.

She said: “Our vision is to transform this university into the leading educational institution in the South-East, Nigeria, and even beyond. We have the potential to achieve this goal if we adopt a private sector mentality.

“By embracing this mindset, we can avoid becoming just a factory producing graduates and instead establish an esteemed centre for learning self-reliance.
