The newly appointed Vice Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Prof Benard Odoh has denied that his appointment has been voided.
Odoh in a press release issued by his personal media assistant, Mr Charles Otu insisted that his appointment passed through the stipulated guidelines, and that he would assume office on Tuesday.
Recall that the Federal Ministry of Education in a letter signed by one Mrs. R. G. Ilyasu on behalf of the Permanent Secretary claimed it had declared the appointment as null and void.
But Otu in a statement he signed on behalf of Odoh and made available to the press insisted that due process was meticulously observed throughout his appointment as the Vice-Chancellor, by the university’s governing council.
He said some of the suspected sponsors of these falsehoods that have been flying day and night since the official appointment now seems to be taken too far.
He urged members of the university community to give peace a chance, while stating that as announced earlier by the university, he would assume work on Tuesday, and this will be commemorated with a Catholic mass and blessing of his office by a Catholic Bishop.
