The Vice Chancellor of Kogi State University,
Anyigba, Prof. Hassan Isah, has been sacked by
the Kogi state government.
Also the governing council of the institution has been
dissolved. The shake-up in the administration of the
state owned tertiary institution, followed the recent
audit carried out in the institution, which seriously
indicted the vice chancellor for allegedly
mismanaging the resources of the institution, to the
tune of over N200million.
According to sources from Lord Luggard. House, the
seat of Government, in Lokoja, The deputy Vice
Chancellor, Academic, has been asked to over the
administration of the university pending new
appointments.
The audit exercise carried out in the institution had
generated a lot of controversies in the university
with, some senior lecturers in the institution who
opposed the re-appointment of the vice chancellor,
threatening to go on strike unless the report is
implemented by the Government.
The report of the external auditors indicted the Vice
Chancellor for poor management of the seed funding
for the establishment of new college of medicine,
recently inaugurated by Governor Idris Wada. Equally
affected is the dissolution of the governing council of
the institution headed by Dr. Ibrahim Onipe.
According to Government sources, new members
have been appointed to replace the sacked members.
The senior special Advice, media and strategy, to the
Governor Wada, Mr Jacob Edi, however decline to
comment on the development.
