by the National University Commission as a result of the violations of the commission’s guidelines by the State Government.
The APC as a critical stakeholder, views the recent autocratic action of Governor Caleb Mutfwang in removing the Vice-Chancellor and the retrenchment of qualified lecturers of the University as the major reasons for the looming closure of the Institution by the NUC.
The flimsy excuse by the state government that the terminations of some of lecturers and support staff appointments were on the grounds that proper procedures were not followed, is counterproductive since it could give reasons for the cancellation of the accreditation of some courses earlier issued by the NUC.
