TINUBU SACKS UNIZIK GOVERNING COUNCIL, REMOVES VC

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the dissolution of the Governing Council of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka, Anambra State, and the removal of Prof. Bernard Ifeanyi Odoh, the new Vice Chancellor, and Mrs. Rosemary Ifoema Nwokike, the registrar.

The council, led by Ambassador Greg Ozumba Mbadiwe, includes five other members: Hafiz Oladejo, Augustine Onyedebelu, and Engr. Amioleran Osahon, and Rtd. Gen. Funsho Oyeneyin.

In a statement, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy, said the sacking of the governing council and officials followed reports that the council illegally appointed an unqualified vice-chancellor without following due process.

“After the controversial appointment, the Federal Government stepped in to address tensions between the university’s Senate and the governing council of the 23-year-old institution.”

“The government expressed concern over the council’s apparent disregard for the university’s governing laws in its selection process,” the statement read.

Tinubu also approved the removal of Engr. Ohieku Muhammed Salami as the Pro-chancellor and Chairman of the governing council of the Federal University of Health Sciences in Otukpo, Benue State.

The decision followed Salami’s reported illegal actions, including suspending the Vice-Chancellor without following the prescribed procedures.

“Despite the Federal Ministry of Education’s call for the unlawful suspension to be revoked, Engr. Salami refused to comply. Instead, he resorted to abusive and threatening behaviour towards the Ministry’s Directors, including the Permanent Secretary.

“The Federal Government reiterated that the primary responsibility of university councils is to ensure the smooth operation of university activities in accordance with the act establishing each university.”

President Tinubu warned the councils not to create distractions in their universities as his government is focused on improving the country’s education standards.

    COURT REFUSES INJUNCTION TO STOP NUJ ELECTION

    COURT REFUSES INJUNCTION TO STOP NUJ ELECTION The National Industrial Court, Abuja Division, has scheduled a ruling on December 13, 2024, regarding a legal challenge to the National Elections of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ). The NUJ plans to hold its 8th triennial delegates conference on November 27, 2024, in Owerri, Imo State. Abdulwaheed Adubi filed a suit in the National Industrial Court seeking to halt the elections, arguing that the tenure of the current NUJ leadership expired on October 6, 2024. However, during the hearing on Adubi’s request for an injunction to prevent the national leadership from proceeding with the elections, Justice Olufunke Anuwe declined to grant an interim injunction against the defendants. Instead, she adjourned the case to December 13 for a ruling. Justice Anuwe stated, “This matter is adjourned to December 13, 2024, for ruling on the application for an injunction,” while rejecting the applicant’s attempts to secure a temporary court order. The defendants’ counsel, Patrick Ediale, argued that the National Executive Committee, which the plaintiff sought to restrain, is not recognized by the NUJ Constitution. Ediale clarified that the constitution establishes the National Executive Council, and other bodies mentioned by Adubi, such as the Central Working Committee and the Credential Committee, are also defined in the constitution but were not included in Adubi’s suit. He emphasized that the court cannot issue an order against parties that are not before it and cannot grant an interim injunction when the court’s jurisdiction over the claims is being contested. In his affidavit, the defense counsel contended that Mr. Adubi, who claims to work for Money Central Newspapers, is not a legitimate member of the NUJ because that publication lacks an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) and, therefore, does not exist. Ediale stated, “There would be more justice in refusing this application since the claimant did not exhaust any internal mechanisms for resolving conflicts as mandated by Article 7 (vi) (a) & (b) of the union’s constitution. According to NUJ’s constitution, only if the Central Working Committee is dissolved can the state council chairpersons and secretaries take control of the union’s affairs.” On the other hand, Barrister Sarafa Yusuff, representing the claimant, urged the court to grant a temporary order to prevent the NUJ from holding its elections the following week. In response to the court proceedings, NUJ President Chris Isiguzo expressed gratitude to the court for refusing to cave in to the claimant’s pressures for an interim order. He confirmed that the union is clear to proceed with its triennial delegates conference as scheduled.Isiguzo urged delegates to prepare for the upcoming event in Owerri, assuring them that all arrangements are in place to ensure a smooth conference. He emphasized, “Let no one be deceived by the misinformation spreading on social media that the election has been postponed. That is fake news. “We are fully aware of the impact fake news has on our media industry, and our people should ignore it and get ready for our event next week.”
