MANAGEMENT COMMISSIONS COOU UNIVERSITY SOUVENIR SHOP

On Wednesday, 4th February 2026, The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Kate Azuka Omenugha, officially commissioned the University Souvenir Shop, strategically located opposite the Postgraduate Block.

With this development, COOU now stands proudly among its peers as one of the universities that can boast not just of a souvenir shop, but of a modern, well-equipped, and quality-driven branding centre.

Speaking during the commissioning ceremony, Prof. Omenugha emphasized that the Souvenir Shop should be seen beyond a commercial outlet. According to her, it represents the University’s identity, a creative hub, and a powerful branding platform through which the institution can showcase itself to the world and project its vision of becoming a “Now University and a University of the Future.”

She further revealed that plans are underway to designate Wednesdays as a day of collective institutional representation, where staff and students are encouraged to proudly display the University’s colours, symbols, and brand identity.

The Souvenir Shop houses a wide range of COOU-branded items, including uniforms, shirts, ties, caps, and other identity materials that reflect the University’s heritage and values.

Members of the University community are therefore encouraged to visit, support, and patronize the Souvenir Shop as a means of strengthening institutional pride and visibility.
