President Goodluck Jonathan has announced the
appointment of some key members of the Peoples
Democratic Party as Chairmen of the Governing
Councils of some federal universities, with three
weeks left for his administration.

While a former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba
Gbenga Daniel, is the Chairman, Governing Council
of Federal University in Kashere, Gombe State; a
former Deputy Governor of Osun State and ex-
Minister of State for Defence, Chief Olusola Obada,
heads the Governing Council of the Federal University in Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State.

A former Chief of Army Staff during the regime of the late dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha, Lt. Gen. Ishaya
Bamaiya (retd.), was also appointed Chairman,
Governing Council of the Federal Polytechnic of Oil
and Gas in Bonny, Rivers State.

Although Daniel and Bamaiyi were absent at the
inauguration ceremony, Obada and others received
their letters of authority.

At the event held on Tuesday in Abuja, the Minister
of Education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, inaugurated the Chairmen and Pro-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Governing Councils of 12 new federal universities and four new polytechnics and Board of National Library of Nigeria.

He cautioned them against undue interference in the day-to-day running of the institutions, adding that governing councils found wanting would be
dissolved, even though they have not reached the
constitutionally required provision of four years for
universities and three years for polytechnics.

The Minister said, “Governing Councils should ensure that the funds allocated by government are
judiciously utilized. They should also come up with
ideas that will generate more revenue, outside
government allocations.

“In the course of your tenure, you should ensure that proper attention and priority are accorded to the relevant University laws, Polytechnics Act and
government guidelines in the appointment of
principal officers and other staff. You must ensure
that transparency, probity and due process are
followed in the selection and appointment so that the best and the right candidates emerge for these
positions.

“The idea that the Chief Executive or any principal
officer should come from its locality is erroneous and alien to the system and should not be allowed to becloud your decisions. Merit should be the
watchword and guiding principle.”

The Executive Secretary of the National Universities
Commission, Prof. Julius Okojie, cautioned the
Governing Councils against exhibiting domineering
attitude.

The NUC boss urged them to play their roles and
strengthen the structure of the nation’s universities.

This GEJ guy has a mission. What's with the hiring and firing?why the late stuffs? Something is not right. I supported him back then but not again. I think he has done much work this year than he has all his years in the presidency.

Jonathan is going through a lot of pain. He is mourning.

He cannot believe that the Nigerian people have sent him out of Aso Rock. All his actions since his disgraceful loss at the polls is a representation of how this drunkard has misruled this great nation.

He is trying to create a chaotic situation for the government of Buhari after May 29 but as always, he underestimates the resoluteness of President Buhari

24 days to proper governance in Nigeria.

Jonathan can continue to appoint his corrupt friends. Buhari is just dancing and waiting to correct his errors

I'm yet to understand the rationale behind some of these last moves by GEJ, seriously.

Hoping for my turn someday

Uncle Jona, I no understand o!
Even Gbenga?

The appointment of Daniel is a clear indication he's trying to compensate his loyalist. Some names there are just barbaric.

Confused man

This dude has an hidden agenda. I don't trust him one bit. He is setting up GMB into a lions den. Time will tell tho

What a young man climb a tree to check, an old man can see it while sitting. Even if the President elect is a retarded being, he understand the hiring and firing is a venom of a wounded bayelsa lion. I just hope the grass will not be at the losing end when the two elephant finish Up the battle. The same hiring and firing policy will fish out NIGERIAN MOSES SOME DAY.

GEJ Comedy
