The Chairman of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Stakeholders Forum, Nsukka, and Enugu State Volleyball Association boss, Comrade Kingsley Nwosu, has congratulated Professor Simon Uchenna Ortuanya on his appointment as the 16th Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), describing the appointment as “historic, well-deserved, and transformational.”

In his message, Comrade Nwosu hailed Prof. Ortuanya’s elevation as a landmark moment in the university’s history and a glorious homecoming for competence, character, and academic excellence.

Prof. Ortuanya, a respected legal scholar and public administrator, hails from Ohodo in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State. With this appointment, he becomes the first Nsukka-born Vice Chancellor of UNN in the institution’s 65-year history, a symbolic and strategic achievement for the host community and the state at large.

Over the years, Prof. Ortuanya has built a sterling career that spans academia, law, governance, and public policy. A Professor of Law, he is an alumnus of the University of Nigeria, the University of Lagos, and Loyola University Chicago School of Law, where he also served as a visiting scholar.

He has held key academic positions, including Associate Dean of the Faculty of Law at UNN Enugu Campus, and Professor at Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT). His scholarly contributions are reflected in several high-impact publications in law, governance, and human rights.

Prof. Ortuanya also boasts an enviable public service record, having served as Commissioner for Education in Enugu State under Governor Sullivan Chime, Secretary to the State Government under Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, and Director General of the South-East Governors’ Forum, where he championed key regional integration and development initiatives.

He is also the Founding Principal Partner of the notable legal firm Prof. S.U. Ortuanya & Co (Word Chambers), known for its excellence in legal practice and policy advocacy.

Comrade Kingsley Nwosu is a respected youth leader, social entrepreneur, and grassroots sports advocate. In addition to his role as NANS Stakeholders Forum Chairman, he serves as the Enugu State Chairman of the Volleyball Association of Nigeria, and is the CEO of Volt Night Club, a popular leisure and hospitality brand in Nsukka. As a former international volleyball player and coach, Nwosu has travelled across the world representing Nigeria and promoting youth development through sports. He is currently leading efforts to prepare Enugu State’s volleyball teams for the upcoming 2026 National Sports Festival, in line with Governor Peter Mbah’s vision for sports excellence.

According to Comrade Nwosu, “Prof. Ortuanya’s journey is an inspiring testament to hard work, brilliance, and purposeful service. His rise to this noble position is not only historic but also deeply symbolic for all who believe in merit and homegrown leadership. I have no doubt he will lead UNN into a new era of academic revitalization and global relevance.”

Nwosu urged students, faculty, alumni, and community stakeholders to rally behind the new Vice Chancellor to ensure the success of his vision for the university. “UNN is in safe hands,” he concluded.
