The Federal Government has announced the reinstatement of Professor Joseph Ikechebelu as the new acting vice-chancellor of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, UNIZIK. The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Nasir Sani-Gwarzo, made this announcement.
“Sequel to the approval of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, vide letter Ref: PRES/84/EDU/10 dated 18th November, 2024 nullifying the appointment of Prof. Benard Ifeanyi Odoh as the 7th substantive vice chancellor of the university who was illegally appointed by the dissolved 10th Council of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, I am pleased to convey the approval of the Honourable Minister to reinstate you as the acting vice chancellor of the university with immediate effect.
