MY ENTRY: CAMPUS CONNECT WEEKLY CONTEST - WEEK - 24 HOURS AS A VICE CHANCELLOR OF YOUR UNIVERSITY|| 50% TO @campusconnectng

The position of a vice-chancellor which is also known in common parlance as VC is an enviable position of power among the academia. It is the post that is most vied for in any university institution as it affords one some very rare privileges as well as prestige in the institution, state and society at large. The authority and power attached to this prominent office can be used positively or negatively. However, the former is most preferable.

Acquiring the authority of an incumbent vice chancellor for twenty-four hours is almost very impossible as this has never been the case anyway in the world except in fantasies. But if by a matter of chance and grace I was appointed the vice-chancellor of the prestigious University of Uyo for a day, I will recognize the fact that the given time is quite limited to carry out much change and reformation as I would have desired but since no little positive effort can be dismissed as unimportant, these are some few steps I will take to address some pressing issues:

Build a team.
Create a map.
Establish a student complaint forum.
Provide a conducive learning environment.
Initiate a bill.
Build a team

On receiving my notification of appointment, I will set up a committee saddled with the responsibility of assisting me to attain the above-listed goals. I understand that before anyone is appointed into any public office, he or she must have been given prior notice and so I must have used the limited time available to build a proficient team with the best hands-on-deck such as Deans with remarkable recommendations. This is because I have never occupied any place of power of this sort that might give me an insight into what to expect.
Create a map

I have observed that most students do not know their way around the school especially newbies or those based at different campuses. I am looking at creating a online student tour guide app or mounting visual maps around the school environments to aid students locate their lecture halls easily so they wouldn't be mislead by mischievous senior colleagues. I can't count the number of times I missed a class as a fresher because I was made to roam aimlessly between town campus and main campus in search of a lecture hall that was right behind me when I left. I spent the two hours allocated for that lecture to travel tro and fro these campuses.
Establish a student complaint forum

This is a forum where students can forward their complaints to the right people who will attend to them promptly. I have observed that most students encounter transfer of feud and enmity from lecturers and other academic staff due to the mistakes of their predecessors. This will enable them to report anyone who tries to trample on their rights.
Provide a conducive learning environment

I understand that there are some basic procedures to follow to achieve this pivotal issue but I will try to reach out to the basic authorities responsible for providing steady power supply, basic facilities and infrastructure like functional bulbs, street lights stationed at every point in the school compound, conducive hotels, large classrooms to contain the already larger class size.
Initiate a bill

Here, I will address the lackadaisical and nonchalant attitudes of some lecturers towards performing their duties. It might take a while to achieve the desired result but it is never bad to start up something. Finally, I will reapply for more time to perform my task excellently. Without further ado, I will ensure that I receive my salary in full with every increment attached to such an important office.
