The President of the Alumni Association of the National Institute (AANI), Ambassador Emmanuel Obi Okafor, mni, on behalf of the National Executive Committee and the entire AANI family, warmly congratulates the Secretary, AANI Imo State Chapter, Prof. Charles Obioma Omeire, mni (SEC 31, 2009), on his well-deserved elevation to the rank of Professor.
As University Orator and a prolific author at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Prof. Omeire has published extensively in national and international journals and authored several books spanning rural development, indigenous knowledge systems, and social sciences. His 2010 landmark delivery of the 20th Public Lecture at FUTO, where he became the first serving Registrar in Nigeria to present such a lecture, was itself a signal of a man whose intellectual contributions transcended administrative boundaries.
A PhD holder from Imo State University, Owerri, he held several pioneering administrative roles across Nigerian universities. He is a Fellow of the Nigerian Institute of Management and recipient of numerous awards including the Ambassador of Excellence honour from Michael Okpara University, Umudike.
The AANI family salutes a personification of integrity, hard work, and humility, and prays that God grants him continued strength, good health, and even greater accomplishments in his new rank.
Warm regards,
Engr. Ifeanyi Jude Ngama, mni
