In a separate appointment, Okonkwo was named Registrar after serving as Vice President of Admissions and Learner Experience. The university said she played a critical role in building several core departments, including admissions, customer support, student success advisory, and commercial operations.

According to the institution, Okonkwo’s leadership has been instrumental in improving the student experience while fostering a culture centred on empathy and service excellence.
