Professor Joy Eyisi on Thursday assumed duty as the new Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics) of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN). This followed her victory in an election conducted by the university Senate to fill the slot which became vacant at the expiration of the tenure of Professor Patrick Eya. Eya is expected to resume in December as the director of the university’s Regional Training for Open and Distance Learning. Eyisi, the immediate past director of NOUN’s special study centre located at the National Assembly, is the first female DVC in the history of the university. A professor of English language, she hails from Adazi-Ani, Ani-Ocha local government area of Anambra State. Her tenure is for two years. At the brief handover ceremony held NOUN’s headquarters in Abuja, the new DVC thanked her predecessor for his fatherly advice and the university management for the confidence it reposed in her. The event was witnessed by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Abdalla Uba Adamu, who felicitated with both Eya and Eyisi – one for successfully completing his tenure and the other for her victory. Adamu reiterated his confidence in NOUN’s women community, saying the women in the university are some of the best in Nigerian academia. He said Eyisi’s election has reaffirmed the balancing act in the university whereby every geopolitical zone in the country is represented in NOUN’s management structure.
