Dr. Joseph Chukwu has formally assumed office as the new Head of Department (HOD) of Mass Communication at Alex Ekwueme Federal University (AE-FUNAI) exactly 10 days after pledging to reposition the department.

Dr. Chukwu expressed his gratitude to the university community, saying, “Many thanks to the VC, Prof. Sunday Elom, my colleagues, our students, friends and numerous well-wishers.”

With his official assumption of office, the department is expected to witness significant developments in line with Dr. Chukwu’s plans.
