University of Abuja and the era of impunity

In recent times, the University of Abuja has been in the news albeit for the wrong reasons. Just last month, the University’s Governing Council and the newly elected Vice Chancellor were sacked by the Federal Government leading to the appointment of Prof Patricia Manko Lar from the University of Jos as acting Vice Chancellor.

The recent catastrophic events that took place in the University did not just suddenly happen. They could be traced to the unfortunate and disastrous tenure of the immediate past Vice Chancellor Prof Abdulrasheed Olayinka Na’Allah which lasted from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2024.
