In a statement signed by Nuruddeen Al-Mustapha, a professor, and Shaibu Sadiku, chairman and secretary, respectively, the chapter appealed to President Bola Tinubu to consider the appeal.“It will also uphold the autonomy and independence of universities by following established procedures and safeguarding their integrity,” the statement said.
It observed that the dissolution of all the Federal University Governing Councils in June 2023 by the National Universities Commission undermined the established procedures and the autonomy of the institutions. “At no point does the law transfer the council’s functions to the Minister or the Visitor; thus, these actions undermine the principles of transparency, equity, and merit-based selection of university principal officers,” it said.
