Governor Bago suspends Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University Lapai Vice Chancellor

Governor Mohammed Umar Bago of Niger State has suspended the Vice Chancellor of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai (IBBUL), Prof. Abu Kasim Adamu, with immediate effect.  The suspension follows reports of ongoing clashes between the Vice Chancellor and university staff, although specific reasons for the action were not disclosed. It’s been alleged that Prof. Adamus suspension may be linked to allegations of high-handedness and insubordination, which have reportedly strained relations with faculty members and union bodies. The internal friction has reportedly intensified as the Vice Chancellors tenure was due to end in two months. Governor Bago directed Prof. Adamu to hand over his responsibilities to the next most senior academic, Deputy Vice Chancellor Prof. Hassan Ibrahim, who will now serve as Acting Vice Chancellor.   The post Governor Bago suspends Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University Lapai Vice Chancellor appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
