Details Of Those In Fresh Governing Councils For Universities Appointed By Tinubu

Voice Air Media, VAM News Update

President Tinubu has approved the appointment of a review list of Governing Councils and Boards of federal universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.

The new list approved by President Tinubu was conveyed in a statement by the Permanent Secretary, General Services Office, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Nnamdi Maurice Mbaeri, and made available to newsmen in Abuja.

Recall that the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, rejected the previous 555-man governing council, saying the list does not meet the union’s demands for the reinstatement of previously dissolved boards.

ASUU president, Emmanuel Osodeke said that the council was illegally dissolved before the expiration of their tenure.

Those in the new list include:

Former governor of Osun State and pioneer chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Bisi Akande, as the chairman of the Governing Council of the University of Ibadan (UI), Oyo State.

A renowned lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Wole Olanipekun, was appointed to lead Lagos University (UNILAG); a former Governor of Bauchi State, Isa Yuguda, who will chair the governing council of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN); and a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Yayale Ahmed, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (ABU).

Joy Emordi, a former senator, was also appointed to chair the council of the Alvan Ikoku Federal University of Education, Owerri, Imo State.

The list comprises five names each for 51 universities, 35 polytechnics, and 22 colleges of education.
