Abstract

I feel highly elated as I stand here today to make a speech on the maiden convocation ceremony of our esteemed University, Godfrey Okoye University. ,Truly, my joy knows no bounds, especially when I think of the beginnings. The French poet and novelist, Anatole France, once wrote, "To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream, not only dream, but also believe". Indeed, a mixture of dream, action and belief makes things possible. The belief that 'we can' propels us to action; action itself converts our dreams into reality. How else can we view Godfrey Okoye University than as 'a dream come true'? Four years ago we gathered here with great joy to celebrate the inception of Godfrey Okoye University. It was a wonderful celebration that filled us with high hopes and great expectations. Our expectations heightened as the University started to make giant strides in various areas of University life. Within few years, Godfrey Okoye had etched its name on Gold in such a way that I called it "a miracle institution". We have not been proved wrong yet,and the story of Godfrey Okoye University (GO University) has always been, thanks to God, a success story.
