THE National Universities Commission (NUC) has directed the Governing Council of THE University of Ibadan to appoint an Acting Vice-Chancellor to take over from the outgoing Vice-Chancellor, Professor Abel Idowu Olayinka, on 30th November.

Executive Secretary of NUC, Professor Abubakar Rasheed, in a letter dated 27th November 2020 and addressed to the Pro-Chancellor of the University, said the appointment of an acting vice-chancellor was to avoid a vacuum in the administration of the university.

The letter obtained on Friday night and signed by Dr Suleiman Ramon-Yusuf, Deputy Executive Secretary (Academics) for the Executive Secretary read: “You will please recall the directives of the Honourable Minister of Education on the resolution of the impasse in the process for the appointment of a new vice chancellor for the University of Ibadan.

“I write at the behest of the Executive Secretary to convey the Honourable Minister’s further directive on necessary steps to resolve the impasse and restore peace and harmony necessary for the discharge of the university’s core mandate:

“The Governing Council of the University of Ibadan is hereby directed to shift its meeting earlier scheduled for 10.00 a.m.on Monday, 30th November 2020 to discuss the issue of appointment of a new vice-chancellor to later in the afternoon on the same day.

“The university Senate should convene a special meeting for the purpose of selecting one of its members who is not a candidate in the ongoing process fur the selection of a new vice-chancellor, for recommendation to the Governing Council for appointment as acting vice-chancellor for a period of not more than six months as stipulated in section 3(13) and (14 ) of the Universities (Miscellaneous provisions: (Amendment) Act, 2002

“In view of the fact that the tenure of the incumbent Vice-Chancellor expires on Monday 30th November 2020, it is pertinent for the Governing Council to meet in the afternoon of Monday, 30 November 2020 to consider and approve the appointment of the Senate nominee as acting vice-chancellor in order to avoid a vacuum in the administration of the university.

“Following the appointment of an acting vice-chancellor, the outgoing vice-chancellor should hand over to the acting vice-chancellor possibly on Monday 30 November 2020 or latest by Tuesday 1st of December, 2020.

“The Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council is also directed to attend a meeting with the Honourable Minister of Education in his office on Wednesday, 2nd December 2020 at 11.00 a.m. to brief the Honourable Minister on developments following the Ministerial directives on the resolution of the impasse.”

No comments.

If the appointment of a VC has proven to be of a herculean task and controversial topic in UI so much that external interference is needed for urgent resolution. Then, the institution is better off as a piggery.

Shame.

First, it was UniLag.

Now, it's UI.

Warisapnin sef.

Politics

Gone are those days when positions like these are merit based, it's more of political influence now

Selfish interest like that fraudster Dam Niggar in this forum

UI is losing her reputation with all VC wahala. External force is helping the reputable and respected institution to choose a VC.

Election of vice-chancellor in u.i has always been trouble since the time immemorial, but the desperation of adewole and olayinka to appointment someone who will cover up their dirty track has make it hotter. U.i with troublesome unions, from their SSANU and NAAT, their NASU is the worst they behaves like tout.

Fighting for nonsense. Even educated ones no fit avoid controversy.

They will sit at their various beer parlours and joints blaming Buhari for their woes, but their micro affairs, they can't manage.

E ba radarada yin da soun.

Since they don't have any credible and qualified person in the university make them appoint me pls.
One would have thought à university would have a smooth transitional programme.
Universities can determine the progress of a country -at least in saner climes.
But ours here keep churning out strange characters.

Nah eh! No qualms
Seems there is too much saga's in
Nigerian universities this year

We like deceiving ourselves in this country, Position of Vice chancellor in any federal institution in Nigeria is base on political influence and not the qualify candidates

Joke schools.

Ok

Any articulate katangite from D-block will run that office efficiently with effectiveness and finesse.

what ever rocks there boat

Who get RMB abeg

Okay

Strike don't affect such things.

Appoint him so he can start early to draw salary for doing nothing.

A nation that killed its educational system will never develop.

Imagine common VC they can't choose in peace. What do u expect the less educated ones to do for better, lucrative political positions?
Greediness is eating this country!

Prof Falase handed over to Prof. Bamiro (F.N.S.E) smoothly without stress, then came Prof. Isaac Adewole who went to play ball with ASO Rock, eventually, they made him minister despite his grave meanness to Uites, thank God he was booted out since then I knew that ASO Rock will not allow universities rest without interfering, they did it with Unilag now it is tearing U.I apart.

They tried infiltrating Churches, but they seem to have failed, very soon to become head of street cleaners you will have to receive a signal from Abuja.

APC should allow universities to do their thing they will not hear.
