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 Laggard. 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.
