STAFF CAPACITY BUILDING: GUU HOLDS ONE-DAY TRAINING FOR SECRETARIES AND ADMINISTRATORS
Gregory University Uturu, on Wednesday, 8th July, 2026, organized a one-day capacity-building workshop for Secretaries and Administrators in order to keep them abreast of modern work ethics, service delivery, and professional branding.
The workshop, which was held inside the Izima Hall, enjoyed the presence of the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Admin), Prof Uwaoma Uche, who represented the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Cele U. Njoku; the Registrar of the university, Mr. Vincent Maliki, Dr. Samuel Nnanna, the Deputy Registrar (Postgraduate School), and the Director of Training, Linkages and Innovation, Asso. Prof Samson Nzeribe.
The DVC, speaking on behalf of the Vice Chancellor made it clear that this training is part of the university’s structured methods to constantly improve the working skills of its staff at all levels, and for that reason participants should always see this type of opportunity as a rare one that must not be missed. He emphasized that the contemporary university system relies on the mental and physical skills of its workforce to thrive.
In his brief but heart-warming speech, the Registrar, Mr. Vincent Maliki, reminded the participants that as Secretaries and Administrators, what can “kill” or safeguard their superiors and the institution where they work lies in their hands, and general actions. He encouraged them to ensure that they take something home at the end of the workshop with the intent to impact the university positively.

Okoji, emphasized adaptability, ingenuity and good record keeping that can directly impact students’ experiences and institutional work flow.
The second Speaker who is the PRO of the school, Mr. Emmanuel C. Ekomanna, who lectured on the topic “The 21st Secretary as an Administrator: Work Ethics, Personal Branding and Emotional Intelligence” reiterated the importance of ethics as moral decrees that must not be violated by a Secretary or an Administrator. He encouraged participants to build positive character, maintain quality reputation index and communicate with the internal and external publics of Gregory University Uturu appropriately; making it very clear that every Secretary or an Administrator should be a strong part of *”The Face of GUU”,* through his or her personal branding.
The participants described the seminar as timely and insightful, noting that the knowledge gained will enhance productivity and stakeholder engagement across departments, colleges, and other outside prospects of engagement.
