*THE NOL-UNIVERSITY MESSENGER*-
_The NEWSLETTER of the NENWE ONLINE UNIVERSITY_ (VOL.1 of 22ND AUGUST 2025)
Series #1: THE APPOINTMENT OF COORDINATORS.
The NOL Board is profoundly delighted at the continued growth trends of the NOL- UNIVERSITY as gauged by the number of daily logins over the course of its existence. This rapid growth is predominantly driven by the younger segments of the demographics of the Nenwe Community, which is the primary constituents of the University. And that is very encouraging to the V.C,(Mr Chukwubike O C.)the Board, and the University.
Each visitor or student comes into the University in search of a pathway & the best options available to fulfill his or her life or career needs, entertainment in uniquely Nenwe culture, and some, as matter of fact, even visit for an opportunity to meet a life partner. The Board recognizes those aspirations as legitimate human needs which the University must position itself to serve, if it wishes to remain alive to its mission.
Arriving at this juncture has been an incredible journey powered, in part, by the elite academics who constitute the faculty, and the sterling qualities of our students, both driven by their exceptional zeal for scholarship.
In this #1 of *The University Messenger* series, The Board pauses for a moment to recognize their invaluable contributions, and to offer them a well deserved thoughtful appreciation.
The Board intends to do more than that in this *newsletter* series: It is announcing its new hires to run the newly created Centers.These two academic leaders have been charged with the responsibility of fashioning out how the University can better cater for the needs of the growing number of, and diversity in the interests of the students and the Community we serve.
In furtherance of that, The Board invites the University Community to join in welcoming the leaders of the new academic & learning centers.

The Board is proud to have chosen Mr. Ifeanyichukwu Harrison, a Head Pastor at a district headquarters of the Church of God Mission International to be the Coordinator, of the newly established *Center For The Understanding of Religion For Human and Community Development*.
