Choi !!! 13 vice chancellors sacked from Nigerian universities established by Jonathan


President Muhammadu Buhari has approved
the replacement of 13 vice chancellors of
Nigerian universities. Twelve of them are
federal ones, and Vincent Tenebe, the vice
chancellor of the National Open University,
has also been relieved from his position. All
these institutions were established by the
former president, Goodluck Jonathan.
The statement by Adamu Adamu, the minister
of education, does not give an explanation
for the action, simply announcing the
appointment of new vice chancellors.
Apart from Tenebe, the affected VCs are

Amin (Dutse Jigawa), James Ayatse (Dutsin-
Ma, Katisina), Mohammed Farouk (Kashere,

Abdulmumini Rafindadi (Lokoja, Kogi), Oye
Ibidapo-Obe (Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi), Isaac
Asuzu (Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti), Geoffrey Okogbaa
(Wukari, Taraba), Lawal Suleiman Bilbis
(Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi), Ben Chuks Okeke
(Gusau, Zamfara) and Shehu Abdulrahman
(Gasua, Zamfara).

Yobe state.
Prof. Magaji Garba will now act as vice
chancellor in the Federal University, Gusau,
Zamfara state.
Prof. Alhassan Mohammed Gani of the

University, Ndifu-Alike, Ebonyi state.

Management, University of Port Harcourt is
now the VC of Federal University, Otuoke,
Bayelsa state.
The development has caused controversy,
with a Nigerian human rights organisation,
the Coalition of Civil Society Groups (CCSG),
demanding the reversal of the sacks. Due
process was not followed, the group
maintained. The CCSG released a statement
saying the action contravenes the provisions
of the universities as contained in the 2009
FGN staff union agreement.

This perhaps ex­ plains why governments in the developed countries sh...
