Buhari simply wants to rusticate the education sector.

Before you start spreading false infomation, Know that the serving tenures of these vice chancellors have expired hence the need for reappointment or election of new vice chancellors. Be properly informed.

Wow!

I see a president who's sordid afraid of 2019 just 9 months into his clueless rule. Anyway, only those who cherish education know its value. One would have expected consolidation of Almajiri School initiative instead of wild goose chase. Not very surprising but playing politics with education can be dire.

psucc:
Buhari simply wants to rusticate the education sector.

please your reasons?


If u don't have one, my Brother u are a wailer

Are you sure this are fact info

Pls hw many years do vcs use as dere tenure. I believe vcs use 5 years. I am a student of Federal University Oye-Ekiti, and our vc prof Isaac Asuzu came into power on February 2013 after the pioneer vc prof chinedu Nebo was called up for a post of minister of power. So will u say his time is up after 3 years?
