The newly appointed Vice-Chancellor of Abia State University (ABSU), Uturu, Prof. Amadike Ugbogu, has prohibited courtesy visits by faculties and departments, birthday celebrations, award presentations and the gifting of portraits in his honour throughout his tenure.
The directive, contained in a notice issued by the university’s Media and Public Relations Unit, also bars him from accepting birthday cakes and honours from individuals, organisations, churches and communities.
Ugbogu expressed appreciation to members of the university community for the goodwill and support shown to him during his inauguration but directed faculties and departments to discontinue courtesy visits to his office.

Instead of receiving delegations, the Vice-Chancellor said he would personally visit the various faculties and departments to engage with staff and familiarise himself with their activities, achievements and challenges.
He also ruled out birthday parties organised in his honour, stressing that he would not accept birthday cakes.
The university management urged students, staff, members of the public and other stakeholders to respect and comply with the directives.
Ugbogu, who assumed office barely two weeks ago, reaffirmed his commitment to purposeful leadership, academic excellence, institutional development and the overall advancement of the university.
