Abstract

On behalf of the staff and students of Godfrey Okoye University and Its Group of Institutions, I heartily welcome you to Nigeria and our university. I would like to thank you particularly for the ordination of our brothers from the Diocese of Awka and for the tremendous sacrifices you have made to participate in their thanksgiving mass (Primiz). My Lord, through this visit you have revealed that pastoral part of you for which we knew you in our student days at Innsbruck. You are a pastor with incredible theological wisdom and insight. My Lord, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, Godfrey Okoye University is the result of the sound education and formation which I received from 1996 to 2005 at Innsbruck. My academic, spiritual and moral formation at Innsbruck under the guidance of the Jesuits was a turnaround in my life, with such indescribable reverberations that even the blind and deaf cannot but acknowledge. For me Austria means hard work, cleanliness, sense of responsibility, modesty and spirituality expressed in practical moral life. These are qualities which I furtively imbibed in the course of my studies and work, with such ripple effects that have become palpable realities in this university. Godfrey Okoye University is indeed Austrian qualities and virtues revealed in different shapes and colours.
