The  Federal  Government  has  announced  the  dissolution  of  the  Governing  Council  of  Nnamdi  Azikiwe  University,  Awka,  Anambra  State, stating that the Council gravely breached  the  laws  governing  the  university, with utter disregard  for  lawful  directives  from  the  Federal  Ministry  of  Education. 

The Government also sacked the new Vice Chancellor, revealing plans to appoint an acting VC and Governing Council in the interim.

In a Press Statement signed by Boriowo  Folasade  Director,  Press  &  Public  Relations of the Federal Ministry of Education, FG said:

“The  decision  comes  after  it  was  found  that  the  Chairman  of  the  Governing  Council  unilaterally  appointed  a  Vice-Chancellor  who  did  not  meet  the  minimum  eligibility  criteria  for  the  position.  This  led  to  a  breakdown  of  law  and  order  within  the  university  community,  causing  tension  and  disharmony. 



“The  Honourable  Minister  of  Education,  Dr.  Tunji  Alausa,  emphasized  that  urgent  measures  were  needed  to  prevent  further  deterioration  of  the  situation  at  Nnamdi  Azikiwe  University,  as  the  legal  decisions  taken  by  the  Governing  Council  posed  a  significant  risk  of  further  destabilizing  the  institution.

“As  part  of  the  dissolution,  the  following  members  of  the  Governing  Council  have  been  removed: 

Amb.  Greg  Ozumba  Mbadiwe-  Pro  Chancellor

Hon.  Hafiz  Oladejo  -Council  Member 

Hon.Augustine  Onyedebelu 

Engr.Amioleran  Osahon 

Rtd  Gen.  Funsho  Oyeneyin.

“The  Honourable  Minister  of  Education  has  also  announced  the  removal  of  Prof.  Bernard  Odoh,  the  Vice-Chancellor  who  was  illegally  appointed  by  the  dissolved  Governing  Council  of  Nnarndi  Azikiwe  University. 

“In  accordance  with  the  university’s  founding  act,  an  Acting  Vice-Chancellor  will  be  appointed,  and  a  new  Governing  Council  for  the  university  will  be  constituted  as  soon  as  possible  to  ensure  proper  governance  and  adherence  to  the  law. 

All  these  changes  are  with  immediate  effect.  This  step  aligns  with  the  Federal  Government’s  commitınent  to  good  governance,  accountability,  and  adherence  to  the  rule  of  law  in  the  nation’s  educational  institutions.”
