Speaking while updating the Anambra state chapter of the institute with her action plans,Prof Omenugha who is also the Second female Professor of Mass Communication in sub-saharan Africa, opined that any accomplishment devoid of selfless service, is not just incomplete, but inconsequential. Hence she offered herself and her vast wealth of experience in public service, and the academia, for the service of the state chapter and the institute generally. This formed the crux of her mantra - "Set to Serve".

She also assured that with her Council membership, the institute will operate with Equity and Fairness to all Chapters, and members, ensuring that no Chapter is left behind in all issues. She further vowed to aggressively drive for more membership across all strata (including students), and make integrity her watchword.
