The National Open University of Nigeria
(NOUN) has appointed regional media
officers for the six geo-political zones in the
country.
Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof.
Abdalla Uba Adamu, who made this known
in Abuja, said the decision was borne out of
the need to bring the university closer to the
grassroots.
Adamu explained that the university,
conceived to cater for the educational needs
of people of diverse background,
irrespective of their location and
circumstances, deemed it necessary to set
up media offices in the zones for effective
information gathering and dissemination.
He said, with the media offices in place,
students and stakeholders of the university
in the six zones could access information,
as well as get feedback on their enquiries.
A statement by the Director, Media and
Publicity of the university, Ibrahim Sheme,
stated that six members of staff of the
Directorate have been redeployed as
Regional Media Officers to man the zones.
The media officers will be operating from
Port Harcourt, Lagos, Abuja, Enugu, Kaduna
and Bauchi.
Those redeployed so far are Mr Joel Nkanta,
Principal Editor (South-South), Mr Abiodun
Akanmu, Senior Media Officer (South –
West), Mr Ambrose Gowong, Senior Media
Officer, (North- Central).
