The mandate of university councils is to compliment the smooth functioning of universities activities based on the extant acts in which they were set up.
The Federal Government has announced the removal of Engr. Ohieku Muhammed Salami, the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of Federal University of Health Sciences Otukpo, Benue State, due to actions unbecoming of his office and violations of established procedures
The decision follows a series of unprofessional actions by Engr. Salami, including the suspension of the Vice-Chancellor without following the prescribed procedures. Despite intervention by the Federal Ministry of Education and formal requests to rescind the unlawful suspension, Engr. Salami refused to comply, resorting to abusive and threatening behaviour towards the Ministry’s Directors including the Permanent Secretary.
