In other appointments, Senator Lanre Tejuoso is now Pro-Chancellor of Yakubu Gowon University, while Senator Joy Emordi moves to the University of Agriculture, Makurdi.
At the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Professor Polycarp Chigbu has been removed as Acting VC, with Professor Oguejiofu Ujam stepping in for six months. Olubunmi Ojo has been appointed Pro-Chancellor of UNN.
