President Buhari recently sacked the Vice Chancellors of 13
federal universities established by the Goodluck Jonathan
administration, including
the vice chancellor of National Open University of Nigeria, Prof.
Vincent Tenebe, The president did not give any reasons for sacking the
VCs and has already approved the appointment of new Vice Chancellors for
the Universities.It is very clear that the president is ruling
in bitterness, removing whoever is not on his side and making decisions
that
is not in line with the constitution For instance, it is only the Governing Council of National Open University of Nigeria that can sack the Vice Chancellor of the school; the president has no right to remove the VC. He even installed a northerner, Prof. Abdalla Uba Adamu of the Department of Mass Communication, Bayero University, Kano as the new vice chancellor
It should be noted that the president once
scrapped National Open University during his days as the military Head
of States. It was Olusegun Obasanjo that re-opened the institution. Why
would a Head of State shut down a good initiative such as National Open
University of Nigeria in the 1980’s and still attacked the institution
in 2016 as the civilian president by unlawfully removing a very
hardworking vice chancellor of the university. It shows the president is
always a bitter man when he sees the progress of his “Enemies”. Would
he have sacked the Vice Chancellor of National Open University of
Nigeria if he (Prof. Tenebe) is the husband of his (Buhari) political
ally, Aisha Alhassan, the woman he made Minister of Women Affairs.
I want to this platform to urge the president to reverse his unruly
decision of sacking Prof. Vincent Tenebe, a man who is working
assiduously in making National Open University a force to reckon with in
Nigeria. Tenebe is responsible for the sudden progress and popularity
of the university

True or false

@onanome:
Curbing the president excesses can be done in different ways depending
on your “TOOLS”. For me, one of the ways to curb his excesses is to
SCOLD him like a child whenever he does something wrong. Example of the
SCOLDING is this post. It’s a way of telling him or reminding him to be
careful and objective with his actions

mention the other 12 VC, am not supporting buhari actions neither do I
have support your own view. you see we don't have to be sentimental
in our view.

The
purpose of d National Assembly is to make and repeal laws. The
presidency is usurping so many functions. This is z democracy. All these
unilateral actions can only cost us more money and wastage. The
President's disdain for education is alarming
Baba Tunde Ayinde
incase u don't know, their tenure expired....conf irm your news and stop following trending, copy and paste journalists...
Uroko Victor Onuora
We
voted change ba?..., let's understand something.., we voted apc at a
time Nigeria was literally tired of the excesses of pdp...,not that we
ever wanted to vote buhari.., it's was just a case of anything aside
pdp..., but in doing this we played into the hands of an old man with
too much grudge and ox to grind.., a man that holds the younger
generation in contempt.., a man that think down a beating ethnic line
and above all a man that sees wisdom only in him, his actions and his
counsel..., he sees us as an erring generation he has come back to tame,
educate, correct and if possible admonish and chastise by force.., his
lawlessness is just the beginning of a ruthless reign.., soon he'll
master a situation where nobody can or will be able to stand against
him.., he's just living out a well nurtured, well thought out strategy
fueled by his long disdain towards the present generation.., he felt the
need to come back for the last time and shape Nigeria into what He
feels it should be not minding whose ox was gored along the way..,
Nigeria should expect more.., that's if we won't go back to the days of
flogging people in the streets

Oluwaseun Praise O'neal

will he not been able to fire who he hire and paid, and why has nuc
never complain of anormally in d course sack, I only pity it reportage
and hatted for those president and if truly the noun VC is hardworking
as you claimed, is he using his personal cash
Oginni Oluwaseun Samuel
13 VC's at once... Mr Oluwaseun Praise O'neal is he the owner of Nigeria? You sound as if he pays them with his own personal money.

What do u expect from an old man who is not educated, change indeed!
Agada Damian Gentle
his action is unconstitutiona l
since their tenure has not expired also he replace them with his
friends especially 4 out of the newly appointed VCs are from Kano
university which is not inline with federal appointment

my namesake see reason with me and let's right all d wrongs, and that's
what baba is busy doing. Let me remind u why did gej suddenly woke up
from his 6 years reign of terror at the twilight of his career now see
reason to upgrade underfunded college of education to university level.
After all he failed woefully to fund educational sector better than his
second teem agenda, and when he was installing the vc did he follow due
processes, and we were told by those who are in charge that their tenure
of service agewise has expired. Why feeling pity for professors who
have enriched their pockets at the detriment of the students at large.
Ezeji Nnecky Chidinma
The
much envisaged change has now turned around to harm us.the only thing
we can do is tell God to do to him what he did to abacha.
Oluwaseun Praise O'neal
There
is nothing wrong with our choice but something is wrong with our
patience, pdp rule is hard on us and not easy to go by. Do u believe
that we had enough money in dis country like dasuki and other money in
private pockets.
Onuh Jude
CHANGE!!
Ogochukwu Hariet Onyeabor
