NANS demands removal of Ambrose Alli varsity VC

National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called on the Federal Ministry of Education and the National Universities Commission (NUC) to intervene in the crisis rocking the Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma.

NANS also demanded for the removal of the embattled Acting Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Cordiliar Agbebaku, as according to the association she was not qualified to be appointed acting VC.

A statement signed by NANS Vice President, Comrade Peculiar Asemota, said the crisis at AAU is getting out of hand, hence the need for government to intervene.

“Academic and other related activities at the AAU have not only been stagnated, but are now auto piloted on a reverse gear since May, 2011 when Agbebaku was appointed acting vice chancellor of the university,” the state- ment alleged.

NANS also said: “Agbebaku is neither competent nor qualified to man the institution as she had not undergone the full process, rigours and discipline of academic development.”

“NANS also observed that there has been widespread maladministration since the inception of her administration, noting that “academic research and scholarship have been stifled as deserving lecturers are no longer accessing the TET Fund grants,” NANS said.
