Group Rejects Call For NOUN VC Sack

Following alleged calls for the sack and petition of the Vice-Chancellor of the National Open University, Prof. Vincent Tenebe, the Africa Centre for Education Rights and Advocacy has called on the Federal government to ignore such calls and rather look into the enviable achievements of administrators especially the accused Vice-Chancellor.

In a press statement issued by the Centre’s Regional President, Mr. Abayomi Ogundele, openly condemned the said petition while saying that the students were ignorant of the towering image of the University both at home and abroad in providing quantitative and qualitative education to all seekers of education with ease and flexibility. The statement also stated that the petition was the handiwork of people who were not bona fide students of the institution but hirelings acting under the guise of NOUN student’s congress.

Why Adamawa State University VC Was Sacked - Commissioner

The Adamawa State Commissioner for Higher Education, Science and Technology, Hon. Ahmed Rufai Abubakar, has given reasons for the sudden sacking of the Vice Chancellor (VC), Adamawa State University (ADSU), Professor Joshua David Shall, on Wednesday, October 4, 2015. He said since the former VC assumed office at the Ivory Tower, over a year ago, the tertiary institution never witnessed peace as it was engulfed in one crisis or the other due to petty squabbles, chaos, lack of sanity and financial misappropriation.

The Commissioner made the revelations in an exclusive interview with Indigo newspaper in Yola. He said “since the former VC became the helmsman at the university, a lot of problems bedevilled the institution. The state government tried to resolve the outstanding issues amicably but failed when I intervened personally. Ultimately, a Visitation Panel was constituted to investigate and come up with recommendations.
