A Father’s Heart in Leadership — Celebrating Our Vice-Chancellor this Father’s Day

On this special day dedicated to fatherhood, we pause to honour a man whose leadership has gone far beyond the boardroom — touching lives, lifting burdens, and opening doors of opportunity.

Prof. Owunari Abraham Georgewill is not just the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Port Harcourt.He is a builder of dreams. A quiet supporter of the unseen. A father to many.

In lecture halls, on scholarship lists, and through acts of compassion often unseen, his influence echoes. For countless students, his belief in equity and access to education has meant the difference between giving up and moving forward.

Where others saw limitations, he saw promise.

Where others waited, he acted.

He made space for dreams to thrive.

Today, we say thank you — for being a leader with empathy, a mentor with vision, and a father whose silent sacrifices have shaped our university’s present and future.

Happy Father’s Day, Prof. Owunari Georgewill.

Your legacy lives on in every life you’ve touched.
