Professor Michael Ugwu Onuu

CURRICULUM VITAE CAREER OBJECTIVES/PHYLOSOPHY

To do something novel in my areas of specialization; not to be a local champion but an

erudite and international scholar and affect every system in which I find myself positively

and leave it much better than I met it. To continue to achieve the above as I did my

ultimate career objective with mottos which are the following: Man and condition are

variables that are separable; Only those who do not try do not make mistakes; What one

“fool” can do, another can; and Equal opportunity is an equal opportunity to prove

unequal talent.
