Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka, Anambra State has been embroiled in a deepening crisis following a contentious senate meeting aimed at electing representatives of senate in the search team for a vice chancellor and interview panel for Registrar.
The meeting, held on Wednesday, ended in a logjam, with participants squarely blaming Pro-Chancellor Greg Mbadiwe’s “bullying” stance for the impasse.
The four senate representatives on the Governing council gave a damning report on the Prochancellor attitude during a recently held governing council meeting.
They complained that all attempts to convince the Prochancellor to toe a line of reason failed.
The four senate representatives were unanimous in describing the Prochancellor as insensitive and therefore unsuitable for the university environment.
Senate members unanimously condemned the advertisement for the Vice Chancellor position, which requires candidates to have attracted a N400 million grant to the university.
