He previously served as Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) at the university and was a former member of the Anambra State House of Assembly, representing Aguata 1 Constituency. The institution's Registrar, Rev. Denekent Anthony Uke, clarified that reports suggesting Umeoduagu served as Acting Vice-Chancellor for only two days were inaccurate, stating he had been formally authorised to act well before his death.
