“Secrecy is an important element of an effective Management, avoid rumour mongering, leaking out official information for selfish interest,” he cautions.

Dr Okullo Odom encouraged the University’s academic and non-academic staff to work as a team in implementing Council decisions for a better Lira University.

Vice Chancellor, Prof, Jasper Ogwal Okeng advised the students representatives of not only pushing for and supporting students’ issues but join other council members in passing policies that serve the interest of the Lira University as a whole.

“Although you are students, you have joined us in the management of this great university without fear or favour. Be impartial and effectively contribute to council business as they come for discussions,” Prof. Ogwal Okeng asserts.
