Onuchuku, who lauded the women recently during a courtesy visit at the Council Chambers of the institution, affirmed that without the morals they teach, most students would have taken the wrong path.
He noted that the success story recorded in terms of academic performance and good behaviour on the path of the students could not have been possible without the moral support of women.
While acknowledging the benefits of the digital world to knowledge expansion and information dissemination, the Vice Chancellor expressed regrets that the internet, which should ordinarily be a source of joy to people, has become otherwise.
“The internet and knowledge explosion has become a source of serious concern as it is doing more harm to children exposed to it unhindered”, he stated.
He, therefore, advised mothers to constantly be on the watch and monitor the kind of information that their children are exposed to.

The Rivers Government says it is collaborating with stakeholders to ensure proper crowd management and zero fatality as political rallies and Ember month activities begin.
The Director, Rivers State Emergency Medical Services, Dr Sylvanus Ujum, said this at its maiden sensitisation/road walk on Saturday in Port Harcourt.
The programme tagged, “Walk for Life, Walk for Safety”, was organised by the State government in collaboration with other emergency management and response agencies.
Ujum said that the sensitisation was organised to check incidences of road traffic crashes, building collapse and other avoidable fatalities associated with the boisterous and care-free attitude usually exhibited during the ember months and political rallies.
According to him, the move has become imperative following past experiences of cases of stampede during political campaigns, religious and other social gatherings.
He said that the state government had directed that all churches, political rallies and gatherings must adequately involve all emergency management and response agencies.
Also speaking, the South-South Zonal Coordinator, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Mr Godwin Tepikor, also advised residents of Rivers to apply moderation in all their engagements.
According to him, the last quarter of the year usually records increase in traffic, movements of goods and services within and across states with apparently high fatality rates.
“People tend to over labour themselves to achieve the year’s target in the ember months, that is why we are creating awareness on the need to apply moderation to curb the menace,” he said.
The State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Mr Salisu Galadunci advised on the need for proper adherence to traffic rules and regulations to check road accidents.
Galadunci also urged residents of the state to embrace voluntary blood donation to help boost blood availability in the state.
He was represented by the Deputy Corps Commander, Head of Operations of FRSC, Mr Chukwuma Mbaegbu.
In his remarks, Head Donor Recruitment, Arm Forces Blood Centre Port Harcourt, Mr Onyekachi Igwe, decried the poor response to voluntary blood donation by residents of the state.
