President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the dissolution of the Governing Council of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, and the removal of the newly appointed Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Bernard Ifeanyi Odoh, along with the Registrar, Mrs. Rosemary Ifeoma Nwokike.

.A statement issued by the special adviser to be the president on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the move comes amid allegations of procedural violations in the appointment of the Vice-Chancellor.

In a related development, President Tinubu also approved the removal of Engr. Ohieku Muhammed Salami as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of the Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo, Benue State.
President Tinubu seeks Senate’s confirmation of three nominees as INEC commissioners.

Salami was accused of unlawfully suspending the university’s Vice-Chancellor without following prescribed procedures.
According to the statement, despite directives from the Federal Ministry of Education to reverse the suspension, Salami allegedly refused to comply, instead resorting to abusive and threatening conduct towards ministry officials, including the Permanent Secretary.

President Tinubu warned against unnecessary disruptions in the country’s universities, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to raising education standards nationwide.
