Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, has suspended all meeting of the Governing Council of the University of Ibadan until further notice.
This was contained in a letter addressed to the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC) by the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Arc. Sonny Echono, on Monday.
The selection process for the appointment of a new Vice Chancellor for the university was suspended by the minister in November 2020, following allegations of imposition and malpractices.
The Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academics, Prof. Babatunde Ekanola was thereafter elected in acting capacity for six months.
