President Bola Tinubu has dissolved the Governing Council of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (NAU), Awka, Anambra State, and dismissed the newly appointed Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Bernard Odoh, as well as the Registrar, Mrs. Rosemary Nwokike.
He also approved the removal of Ohieku Salami as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of the Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo, Benue State.
The announcement was made on Wednesday through a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, titled ‘President Tinubu sacks Nnamdi Azikiwe University Council, VC, and Registrar.’
The NAU council, previously led by Greg Ozumba Mbadiwe, included members such as Hafiz Oladejo, Augustine Onyedebelu, Amioleran Osahon, and retired General Funsho Oyeneyin.
According to Onanuga, the decision to dissolve the council and remove the officials was based on reports that the council had unlawfully appointed an unqualified vice-chancellor, bypassing established procedures.
Following the controversial appointment, the Federal Government intervened
