SSANU Calls For Sack Of 4 Vice Chancellors Over Alleged Corruption

University workers under the aegis of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) on Wednesday in Abuja called for the sack of four Vice Chancellors of the Nigerian Universities over alleged corruption in the University System.Mr Samson Ugwoke, SSANU National President, made the call when the union picketed the University of Abuja.Ugwoke said that the alleged corrupt Vice- Chancellors were of the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta (FUNAAB); Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA); University of Abuja (UniAbuja) and Plateau State University (PLSU).Any Vice- Chancellor who has been alleged of corruption and has been arraigned before a competent court must be directed to step aside in line with Public Service Rule.If judges were directed to step aside pending the determination of criminal charges proffered against them, why not Vice-Chancellors' Vice-Chancellors have no immunity and Government must not create immunity where it does not exist.The Federal Government must ensure the protection of whistle blowers at the Federal Universities. We also demand the reversal of all punitive actions-demotions, denial of annual increments and promotion, wicked posting, among others.We also demand that the Chairman and Secretary of SSANU University of Abuja, Mr Jude Nwabueze and Mr Nurudeen Yusuf must be recalled back to work with immediate effect.
