What we are celebrating is nothing short of legendary—a vibrant fusion of epic moments, unforgettable energy, and a spirit so electric it will echo through time. Not just now, not just for decades—but for centuries to come.
At the Founder’s and Heritage Day, a hallmark event of the COOU @25 Silver Jubilee Anniversary, history was made. One of the highlight was the extraordinary generosity of Chief Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Okonkwo, fondly known as Emma Bishop.
More than just gracing the University with his presence, Emma Bishop made a jaw-dropping ₦50 million donation in support of student welfare. Yes, fifty million naira!
His act of generosity is not just a gift—it’s a beacon of inspiration, and a golden chapter in the COOU story that will be retold for generations.
