The new acting Vice Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Prof Carol Umobi has assumed office.
Umobi took over in a smooth transition as he was handed over by the former acting Vice Chancellor, Prof Joe Ikechebelu, who was last weekend removed by the council of the university, led by Amb. Greg Mbadiwe.
The council had sat on Saturday and even though there was stalemate during the meeting, Mbadiwe had shortly before leaving the university, handed Umobi his appointment letter to, after for six months.
The Special Adviser to the Vice Chancellor on Media, Dr Emma Ojukwu who briefed journalists immediately after the handover said Umobi will act for a non renewable term of six months, and will not be a part of the contest for a substantive vice chancellor.
