Duchessree:
I know there are a lot of people that are happy with this news

Even me but am not yet sure because the governing council was just dissolved last week

Congratulations to u prof..

Hope he'll clear the school of cultists because me, ayam tyred.

Congratulations sir

congrats to him...hope he will not be like the former wicked VC Lale?

senatordave1:


Is it acting or substantive vc because I heard lale has one more teem remaining.by the way,unical vc post has been declared vacant.seems zanna resigned.don't know

All VCs do one term of five years and that's all. So Lale is expected to leave there in July 2020.

Professor Owunari from PharmCO is a consensus candidate. He was adopted by all the stakeholders, the host Community, and all the organs of the University Community.

Professor Akpagu is still there....the vacant means that he is expected to leave there December this year.

The GC rule is that 6 months to the end of the tenure of the VC, the Registrar shall cause to be published an advertisement for Vacancy.
Zanna is expected to leave there in Dec.

Just like UI, the VC seat too has been declared vacant since April or so.

What amazes me however, is how the SS Federal Universities conduct theirs....it will be from the University, it will be agreed upon and most likely the person will be from the State.

Asides FUTO in the SE, VC-tussle is like a Presidential Election..at the end there will be so much acrimony, and the person will be brought in from God knows where.

I just don't understand.

Ok

I have met him, what next?

Paddy paddy govt and appointment.

IMPENDING BREACH OF THE PEACE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF PORTHARCOURT

The students’ union of the university of port Harcourt, kindly write to your offices to intervene in a development we consider as impending breach of the peace on the campus of the university of port Harcourt.
The student union has observed that one Prof. Owunari Georgewill, one of the aspirants for the position of the vice chancellorship of the University of Port Harcourt is carrying himself in a manner that could raise unnecessary rivalry, panic, tension and crisis in the university. Our observations are founded on the following backdrop.

1. He is aiding and abetting rumor mongering on the social media as regards his receipt of letter of appointment as the 9th vice chancellor of UNIPORT.


2. Sponsoring series of petitions and court cases against the university management since the inception of Prof. N.E.S Lale-led administration with the intent to make the University ungovernable for Prof. N.E.S Lale

3. Going about with the proclamation of being an anointed candidate, of the Hon. Minister for transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Ameachi, one of the highly respected political leaders in the Niger Delta for the position of vice chancellor. The union sees Prof. Georgewill’s distribution of recharge card worth millions of naira, to Facebook users on our leader’s birthday, as a way of currying favor from the Hon. Minister of transportation. We considered this act highly sycophantic and mercantilist.


4. Attempting to run a parallel government in the university of Port Harcourt by relishing all the congratulatory messages showered on him on social media as the 9th vice chancellor of the University of Port Harcourt, rather than put up a disclaimer to such unfounded rumors from his social media influencers.
It is pertinent to mention that Prof Owunari Georgewill’s presence on social media tends to negate the laid down procedure/principle of the selection/appointment of a vice chancellor in the University of Port Harcourt. It is not surprising, that his declarations as the 9th vice chancellor of the university of Port Harcourt was made public by sponsored social media influencers.

Against the backdrop of the issues raised so far, the union hereby states as follows;

1. That it is in the knowledge of the union that the tenure of the current vice chancellor Prof. N.E.S Lale will expire on the 12th of July 2020. The union Therefore is not expecting any imposition of an acting vice chancellor especially where there is no vacuum or breach of peace in the day to day administration of the university of Port Harcourt. The unions awareness is guided by her knowledge of the provisions in the university of Port Harcourt Act in relation to the selection or appointment of Vice-Chancellor or Acting Vice Chancellor.

2. The union is also aware of the dissolution of the Governing Council of the university of Port Harcourt. The union understands that the visitor has the prerogative to announce such dissolution. However, the union would like to extend an appeal to the visitor to kindly constitute a new Governing council within the shortest possible time in order to guarantee an all-encompassing university system.

3. Whereas the union is not against the aspirations of Prof. Owunari Georgewill to be the vice chancellor of the university of the university of Port Harcourt, the union frowns at Prof. Georgewill’s high level of desperation whereby he claims to have been appointed the 9th vice chancellor of the university of Port Harcourt on social media. This act does not only end in deceiving the social media vulnerable public, but also portends a high security risk and breach of the peace on campus because it is tantamount to establishing a parallel government since the tenure of the incumbent vice chancellor is still running. That Prof. Georgewill should be called to order by the visitor of the university of Port Harcourt, through the Hon. Minister of education to stop parading himself on the social media, as the 9th vice chancellor of the university of Port Harcourt.


4. That the union wishes to state unequivocally that there has been lasting peace and free flow of academic and administrative activities in the university until the general lockdown as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The union is with the federal government as we commend the swift response by the federal government in curbing the spread of the pandemic. We also hope that normal activities will return to university campuses in Nigeria based on the appropriate timing of the government.

5. The union is hereby advising Prof. Owunari Georgewill to put up a disclaimer or refute in the same social media about the rumors that he has been appointed the 9th vice chancellor of the university of Port Harcourt. This is to exonerate him from any impending crises that may arise as a result of the rumors.

Finally, the union also states in clear terms that the issue of cultism has become history in the university of Port Harcourt under Prof. N.E.S Lale, and so, will not fold her hands and watch any individual rekindle the flames of cultism in uniport for political reasons and mundane interests.
We therefore appeal to the Hon. Minister of Education to intervene by calling Prof. Owunari Georgewill and all other over ambitious candidates for the post of vice chancellor to order, by advising them to play the game by the rules.

As a body of students, we can no longer afford the luxury of missing out any semester due to internal crises in the administration of the university.

Nation and the peace of
University of Port Harcourt

I thought a vc is elected by the governing council through a simple majority vote and confirmed by the visitor? Mind you the governing council was dissolved last week and am not aware of any new one.

Secondly,bye elections for senate will happen between June and July and zanna will have to resign.I believe one of the dvcs will have to act

EmperorMhykels:
Thank God Uniport has been freed from the shackles of LALE. That man distroyed that school for people.



His first policy as a VC was to implement No-school fees, No exam.. people were begging the man he no gree; until the day exam was to start.... Come see as boys block Delta gate and Main gate. That day police killed Peter Ofurum faculty president Management Sciences,.. When school resume every student still pay 5k.



The second on was that if you fail to pay school fees for a term you will repeat..



Another one was that if you paid school fees after the last day set by the school *school received the school fees ooo* you will still come back.. even if you don go NYSC

Are these policies you term 'destroyed the school'? You should know that
1. A good number of students eat their school fees even when given while some spend it on very frivorities. I once had a lady beg me for school fees after she has used hers to pay for graduation party fee (I said even if I had the money to overflow I won't help for such a show of stupidity)
2. Some can afford to stay in apartments that a more than twice the school fees but want to school for free.
3. Some spend money on girlfriends, hair makeup, clothes and drinks but want to go to school for free.
4. The phones that some are using is worth more than their school fees.
The man should be commended for bringing sanity to school.

That is what I have been trying to say.it seems this news is kind of preanticipatory or preemptive from the George will camp

Fergie,I believe this has clearly answered many questions. No election has been done and contrary to your claims,the man is not a consensus candidate. The sug obviously is not with him.the man should calm down abeg

senatordave1:


I thought a vc is elected by the governing council through a simple majority vote and confirmed by the visitor? Mind you the governing council was dissolved last week and am not aware of any new one.

Very correct..Its just politics been played.
There is no new one and the VC's tenure can't be extended...Lale must have to leave in July.
The GC was dissolved and none has been constituted. It is just Rivers Politics, that's all...worse still, the most senior DVC will be interim until a board is constituted.

Secondly,bye elections for senate will happen between June and July and zanna will have to resign.I believe one of the dvcs will have to act

He will but he hasn't yet.
What was done was the customary thing expected for now.

Possiblegee:
did you just say I should mastubate with it?

I think so

I don't like the way owunari is parading himself but since he is loyal to amaechi,I will prefer him.

senatordave1:


I heard prof nimi Briggs and amaechi made him the vc.he belongs to amaechi camp while his opponent onuchukwu an ikwerre belongs to wike and lale's camp.

If actually he belongs to amaechi camp,it is a big step in capturing rivers in 2023

likely he has been in the opposite party back 2007-2008, he likely deflected to APC when amaechi did.

senatordave1:



Fergie,I believe this has clearly answered many questions. No election has been done and contrary to your claims,the man is not a consensus candidate. The sug obviously is not with him.the man should calm down abeg

Does SUG have a role in the appointment of VC-ship?
SUG has no role or input who becomes VC of a federal Institution...this is the only thing they can do......write letters and all that.

I am only saying what was done last year. I don't know either.

The event is in the image below (This was Dec last year)

I know sug have no role to play but your earlier statement that owunari is a consensus candidate of the whole uniport community made it look like even sug wanted him.what does that pix depict

senatordave1:


I don't like the way owunari is parading himself but since he is loyal to amaechi,I will prefer him.

For you....Politics must always come first in everything, na waoh.

Most oftentimes, the outgoing VC always have his way unless the President is specially interested.

Ikio:

Nawao.so all these lecturers are full time politicians. If so,let him win

senatordave1:

Please the event went viral. I am not saying whether it was right or wrong or it followed procedures or not. All outgoing VCs want their Man-Friday to succeed them.

That pix was the acceptance by the University organs, host Community and stakeholders.....Dec 4, 2019 or so.

I need you to also understand something.....this sug you see here are also sponsored. I know how it goes, bro. It depends on who is sponsoring them.

The sug can only bark and not bite. Days have gone when Unionism made the difference.

senatordave1:


Nawao.so all these lecturers are full time politicians. If so,let him win

You no know......who no wan be VC!?

UI's own is the one am following closely, cos that one is usually academic and technical..there is little external influence can do to it. All the fights na for inside

fergie001:

For you....Politics must always come first in everything, na waoh.

Most oftentimes, the outgoing VC always have his way unless the President is specially interested.

See,understand me na.politics comes in when it is tainted with politics.it is either him or onuchuku a wike loyalist.with the dissolution of the past council loyal to lale and how hated he is in uniport,I don't see how he will have his way..
All owunari needs to do is to relocate to abuja and make sure the new council is favourable to him,that's all.

fergie001:

You no know....

I noticed it during last year polls esp those involved in ASUU politics

The way Lale is hated is global. As in his hate has travelled far, but the man is a scientist par excellence.

Na him Sabi wetin him do.

senatordave1:


You still have not explained what that event is

The event was an adoption of Prof Georgewill by all stakeholders of UNIPORT as the successor to Lale.

JOYOSITA:
have you graduated?

are you a student of Uniport?

fergie001:

The event was an adoption of Prof Georgewill by all stakeholders of UNIPORT as the successor to Lale.

Ok but it means nothing

senatordave1:


Ok but it means nothing

Its all 2023 politics.

fergie001:

Its all 2023 politics.

I mean it won't make him vc but will sha sway opinions.

Concerning 2023,it is key that amaechi get controls of uniport because half of lecturers that work during rivers polls are from uniport and installing a pliant vc is a very big step in taking rivers...sometimes,its not just about controlling the instrument of violence but controlling those that prepare the results.
