Speaking on the three Vs of the Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Kate Omenugha, which are: values, visibility, and viability, Chief Udensi pointed out that character is essential for knowledge to become useful to society. He also emphasized that an educated but corrupt man is a danger to society because corruption backed by knowledge is difficult to curb, Udensi argued. It is in the light of this argument on ethics as the requirement for the greater good that he pledged to build an ethical centre for the university.

Pledging to build the Ethical Centre at the university, he asked for the space location to be given to him by the university, for the construction to commence.
