The Academic Staff Union of University, ASUU, has condemned the appointment of Professor Abdurosheed Na’allah as the Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja.
ASUU in a statement signed by its University of Ibadan Chairman, Prof Deji Omole and Ibadan zonal coordinator, Dr Ade Adejumo, lambasted the president on the appointment.
The statement also queried the anti-corruption war of the president as the union said Prof Na’allah has been indicted of maladministration, corruption and abuse of due process by a visitation panel set up by the immediate past governor of Kwara state, Abdulfatai Ahmed.
The statement said: “A government that claims to be fighting corruption is protecting people alleged for corruption and compensating them with appointment.
“Example is the case of KWASU vice chancellor, who was indicted by the visitation panel set up by former governor Abdulfattah Ahmed’s administration. The White Paper recommendations were not implemented; they were suppressed by politicians.
“Now, the government of President Buhari has appointed the same person as the vice chancellor of the University of Abuja. He has even resumed while his tenure is yet to lapse in KWASU, thereby occupying two vice chancellorship seats.”
