The Enugu State Government has charged the Department of Mass Communication, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, ESUT to do everything it takes to sustain the newly revived ESUT Monitor Newspaper.

The Commissioner for Environment and Climate Change, Honourable (Professor) Samuel Ugwu stated this in an exclusive interview with ESUT Monitor in his office.

The Former Dean, Postgraduate Studies, ESUT, expressed delight that the Department has come up with a practical reality of what it takes to study journalism in the university.  

“My idea on the paper is that there should be sustainability because sustainability is one of the problems we have. We come up with vision and all of a sudden it dies. It’s not proper. You should be able to sustain the newspaper. So I advise that you should sustain it,” he said.

The Commissioner further advised the editorial team to diversify their story base instead of concentrating on one department or faculty.

“The one you showed me and the one I read now is a high-quality paper but I advise you, you don’t need to concentrate on Mass Communication alone. Because from what I saw, 99 percent of what you wrote is about Mass Communication, apart from our Vice Chancellor who is our Boss. You people should diversify and see what is happening in other places.

“Other faculties like Engineering, Management Sciences, Social Sciences, and others so you can get more information for subsequent publications. Make sure you have a good editorial team.”

The commissioner promised to support the newspaper in the best way he could.

The Commissioner for Environment and Climate Change, Professor Samuel Ugwu stated this in a chat with ESUT Monitor Newspaper in his office.

Professor Ugwu who until his appointment was a lecturer in the Department of Political Science, ESUT said that attracting project to the university is his priority stressing that the institution made him whom he is today.

“ESUT is my first priority because it was from ESUT I took off and went for chairmanship and currently a commissioner. We are making an effort already because other people too from ESUT are putting heads together. Like Professor Osy Okanya who is the Executive Chairman of Local Government Commission, is part of us. We are putting heads together on our side as individuals. We are equally doing something to ensure that the issue of water scarcity in the university is reduced. 

“We need to discuss with the person in charge of water. We are considering if more boreholes will be there and we are using the Ministry of Water Resources to do something,” he said.

ESUT has been facing shortage of water supply in the campus recently with students complaining of not having enough water for their daily use.
