in Nigerian universities became
pervasive when the position of Vice
Chancellor became a political appointment
rather than the responsibility of the
universities, Executive Secretary of the
National Universities Commission (NUC)
Professor Julius Okojie has said.
Okojie said this at s sensitization seminar
on the effects of corruption in the Nigerian
university system jointly organized by NUC
and Independent Corrupt Practices and
Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC)
in Abuja yesterday.
He said after Vice-chancellors became
political appointees during the military era,
quality of leadership declined as they were
not responsible to the university
community.

“Universities then lost focus in terms of
research and productivity that industries
lost confidence in us. The best brains did
not want to remain in the university
system,” he said.
