Minister of Education, Prof. Ruqayyatu Rufa’i, made the announcement at a media briefing in Abuja. She explained that the decision to appoint the chief executives was in line with the Federal Government’s desire to ensure the commencement of academic activities in the institutions in September 2011. The minister said the Federal Executive Council had approved temporary and permanent sites for the take-off of the institutions across the six geo-political zones. She added that, “Council also approved N1.5bn for each university, to be sourced from the Education Trust Fund. “As an affirmation of the readiness of government to ensure that the universities fully take off by September this year, President Goodluck Jonathan has graciously approved the appointment of vice-chancellors and registrars for the new universities.” The minister said care was taken to ensure that the vice-chancellors were carefully chosen from the ranks of former VCs, deputy vice-chancellors, provosts of colleges of medicine as well as Nigerian professors in the Diaspora. It was also agreed that none of the vice-chancellors would serve in a university within his or her geo-political zone. But an exemption was made in the case of registrars in order to ensure a good host community-university relationship. Those appointed were a former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos, Prof. Oye Ibidapo-Obe, who is now the VC of Federal University, Ndufe-Alike, Ebonyi State, while Mr. G.O Chukwu was appointed registrar.
