The University of Benin (UNIBEN)
yesterday gave an insight into why it sacked some senior members of staff. It said they were sacked for admission racketeering, changing of students’ grade and collection of money from students for several services.
Those affected included a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, two doctors from the Department of Mathematics, three lecturers from the Department of Production Engineering and History and International Studies, a lecturer
from the Optometry Department
and four lecturers from the Department of Microbiology.

A university source said one of
them forged signatures ofprincipal
officials to secure employment for
some persons. A statement by the institution’s spokesman, Harris Osarenren, said the officials were dismissed for misconduct.

He said the workers were sacked
after the Governing Council approved their dismissal, following recommendations of a disciplinary committee.

Non-academic staff affected
included those in the security unit,
a clerical officer and a worker in the office of the vice chancellor.

Uniben actually sacked some staffs (lecturers and non-teaching) but that list up there is just not correct. That was a petition published in 2009. Here is the link: http://www.pointblanknews.com/os1664.html
