The President Tinubu led administration has sacked Bernard Odoh, the Vice-Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka, Anambra State.
Odoh was recently appointed by the Governing Council of the University as the school’s 7th substantive vice-chancellor.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Mrs R.G. Iliyasu who announced the sack of Vice – Chancellor said in a letter addressed to the Pro – Chancellor / Chairman of the Governing Council of the University that “the ministry had agreement with the relevant stakeholders that there would not be appointments without reconciling the aggrieved parties of the school.
The letter reads, “Sequel to your meeting with the Honourable Minister of State for Education, (HMSE) held on Friday, 25th October, 2024, it was formally agreed that no appointments should be carried out by your Council without reconciling with the aggrieved parties in the University Community.
“It has come to the attention of the Ministry that your Council had gone ahead to appoint a Vice Chancellor for the University without the Representative of the Ministry, the internal council members and other Stakeholders on Tuesday, 29th October, 2024. This is a gross disregard to constituted Authority and is not in line with Extant provisions.
“Against this backdrop: I am directed to inform you that all appointments made so far are null and void. You are therefore requested put on hold all other appointments in the University pending the assumption on duty of the new Honourable Minister of Education,” it added.
The letter was copied to the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission.
