The Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Owerri (FUTO), Prof. Nnenna Oti, has said the management had gone to court over the rejection of Dr. Isah Ibrahim Pantami’s promotion to the rank as a professor of Cyber Security by the institution.

This followed the threat by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to sanction FUTO management for approving Pantami as a professor while he is still in Federal Government’s active service as a minister.

Oti told The Nation yesterday that the management went to court on the matter, saying any comment or discussion on it is subjudice.

But a senior management worker, who spoke in confidence, claimed that ASUU has no right to dabble into a matter it has no jurisdiction over.

“Just like ASUU does not tell the university council and its Senate who to promote, it cannot tell them the criteria for promoting somebody to rank of professor. In law, you cannot withdraw what you don’t have. ASUU does not regulate appointments and promotions. Some of these things are derived from NUC guidelines, and every university sets up its standard,” the source said.

ASUU becoming alpha and omega. Biting more than it can chew.

ASUU is not the university commission and cant dictate how university is run.

Rubbish

God just deliver this country because of few righteous one

The Alumni of FUTO should sue that VC.....

You know it's desperation times when a university is fighting tooth and nail to keep its bad decision afloat. What do they stand to gain from rewarding the terrorist with a professorship?

Cybersecurity professor who claimed his twitter account was hacked.

Wahala don be like ASUU and Pantami, let see who will win this one

pigs trying so hard to please the Almanjiris. Now if this was a University in the Southwest,you know the rest

But why are my people like this? You guys should not spoil FUTO for us please. What nonsense!

Shamelessness everywhere.

It seems that VC of FUTO is a very shameless human being.

What sort of foundation is she laying in future? If everything is compromised, education should not be tampered with, although it has been nearly destroyed in Nigeria.

People with no atom of integrity, starting from the person that got professorship to the person that offered same
