Federal University Suspends VC, Amidst Allegation of Gross-Misconduct Suspended VC, Professor Innocent Uja.
The Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo (FUHSO), Benue State, has suspended its pioneer Vice Chancellor, Professor Innocent Ujah, over alleged gross misconduct and willful contempt for authorities.
In his place, Professor Ediga Bede Agbo has been appointed as the acting Vice Chancellor.
A statement issued late Monday by the university’s Coordinator of Information, Publication, and Public Relations, James Onogwu, on behalf of the Registrar, corroborated that the decision was made during a special meeting of FUHSO’s Governing Council on October 17, 2024.
The meeting was chaired by the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council, Engr. Ohieku Muhammed Salami.
The statement featured that the council, during its deliberations, decided to suspend Professor Ujah, citing “alleged gross misconduct and willful scorn for authority.” Professor Ujah, who had served as the university’s pioneer Vice Chancellor, has competed mounting accusations leading to the council’s action.
Following the suspension, the council immediately appointed Professor Agbo, a highly regarded microbiologist and native of Otukpo in Benue State, to serve as acting Vice Chancellor for an initial term of six months.
Professor Agbo, a distinguished academic and a sexagenarian, has now assumed his advanced role, the statement added.
