FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES DISSOLUTION OF NNAMDI AZIKIWE UNIVERSITY, AWKA EXTERNAL GOVERNING COUNCIL
The mandate of university councils is to compliment the smooth functioning of universities activities based on the extant acts in which they were set up. Unfortunately, it has come to the President and Ministry of Education’s attention that the Nnamdi Azikiwe University’s external governing council members have created an acrimonious relationship with the university’s internal council members and the senate of the university.
The Pro chancellor has gone to the extent of disregarding the extant act of the Nnamdi Azikiwe university including illegally appointing an unqualified Vice Chancellor with total disregard to due process and rule of law for such appointment. The President is determined and focused on improving the standards of education in the country and has therefore directed the following:
I. The dissolution of the Governing Council of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. Anambra State, made up of the following members:
Amb. Greg Ozumba Mbadiwe. – Pro-Chancellor
Hon. Hafiz Oladejo. - Council Member
Hon. Augustine Onyedebelu. “
Engr. Amioleran Osahon. “
Rtd. Gen. Funsho Oyeneyin. “
II. The removal of Prof. Bernard Ifeanyi Odoh, the Vice Chancellor illegally appointed by the Council of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. Anambra State
