Consequent upon this, the Governing Council of the institution rose from its 157th meeting with a resolve to terminate the appointment of 5 Staff and demotion of 3 others, over what it described as “gross misconduct”.
After thorough consideration of the report of its Disciplinary Committee, Council decided to use the sledge hammer on the erring staff for indulging in acts that contravenedrelevant laws of the University.
The termination and demotion of these staff was, however contained in separate letters signed by the Registrar of the institution, Mr. Gabriel Egbe and dated January 23, 2020.
