Following the successful completion of the selection and interview process, the Governing Council recommended Rev. Fr. Prof. Nnamdi Ambrose Nwankwo to the Board of Trustees for consideration and approval. 

At a joint meeting of the Board of Trustees and Governing Council held on 5th October 2026, the Board of Trustees approved the recommendation of the Governing Council and consequently authorised his appointment as Acting Vice Chancellor of Tansian University, effective immediately.

His appointment is for an initial period of six (6) months, after which his appointment may be confirmed or further reviewed in accordance with the University's governing processes.

The University is confident that Rev. Fr. Prof. Nnamdi Ambrose Nwankwo brings to the office a wealth of academic experience, administrative exposure, teaching and learning expertise, and University-system experience. 

The University expects that he will use his wealth of experience to contribute significantly to strengthening the University's corporate governance, academic programmes, institutional development, and the much needed reconciliation in its pursuit of higher academic standards, peaceful co-existence, conducive academic environment and global recognition.

Management remains committed to ensuring stability, continuity, transparency, and excellence in the administration of the University.
