Professor Gozie Ogbodo is an erudite and accomplished Professor of International & Environmental Law, educated at the College of the Immaculate Conception, CIC, Enugu, the University of Benin and in the United States of America.

He assumed office as the Rector of the world- famous Institute of Management and Technology, IMT, Enugu, on November 1st, 2024.

So, starting from the last week of October, 2025, the premier institution will roll out the drums to celebrate the eventful one year in office of Prof. Gozie Ogbodo, the simple, unassuming and amiable legal academic, a native of Akpugo in Nkanu West of Enugu State, and a devoted Christian, husband and father.

Activities marking the epochal event will kick off on Wednesday, October 29th, with an Inter- Denominational Service, at the International Conference Centre, Campus 111, IMT, at 12 noon. This will be followed, on Thursday, October 30th, by an Arts, Science and Tech Exhibition, by the Faculties concerned, at the same venue, by 12 noon. On Friday, October 31st, there will be the commissioning of all TETfund projects in the institution, a task that will be performed by the TETfund Board of Trustees from Abuja, at 10 am. The next day, Saturday, November 1st, guests will be treated to a Novelty Football Match, at the IMT Sports Arena, with the Rector leading his team in what promises to be a memorable clash!

Prof. Gozie Ogbodo has certainly endeared himself to the staff and students of IMT, and to the good people of Enugu State, by his astuteness and ability to transform IMT into a pristine and orderly machine, running smoothly on all cylinders.

For the very first time, he established the IMT Secondary School, which is on campus, and is currently in session. In addition, Prof. Ogbodo has obtained full accreditation for all courses; renovated virtually all the structures in the school; converted all the security personnel and casual workers, many of whom have been working for ten years and beyond, to full time staff; established the IMT Bread and IMT Water franchises, and increased Management engagement and interaction with staff and students, among many other achievements. All this in less than a year!
