Prof. Carol Arinze Umobi becomes Nnamdi Azikiwe University first ever female Vice Chancellor
After barely 44 days in office, the Acting Vice Chancellor of Awka, Professor, Joseph Ikechebelu has been removed, and replaced with Prof. Carol Arinze Umobi, a law professor.
Teachers in Nnamdi Azikiwe University have been polarised along power lines and it is believed that politicians have a hand in the unusual struggle for power that embroiled the university.
The letter signed by the chairman of the Governing Council Chief Greg Ozuomba Mbadiwe read:
“1 am pleased to inform you that in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of First Schedule, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Act CAP 139, LFN 2004 as amended by the Universities (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Amended) Act 2007, the Governing Council has approved your appointment as Acting Vice-Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka on recommendation of the University Senate.
