CORE VALUES COMPLIANCE I have been doing my best to see that the core values of the university which have been my life guiding principles even before I joined Covenant University are observed at all times. I gave my live to Christ since 1979 in my secondary school days and have since then kept the faith. I attend church programmes and chapel services. I study and live by the word of God. I evangelize through the preaching of the word and my godly conducts. I believe everything is possible through Christ. I carry out my assignment with utmost sense of responsibility, diligence and sacrifice required. All these are evident in my clean record since I joined the service of Covenant University in November, 2005. EXPECTATION FOR NEXT ACADEMIC SESSION To become an established academic in my field through ground breaking research and publications. To contribute my undeniable quota to the realization of vision 10: 2022 through quality research, innovations, internationalization and visibility. To mentor the students and improve my teaching quality. 7
