ASUU alleges violation of Gombe varsity laws

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Gombe State University branch is expressing concern over the continuous violations of the university’s laws in the appointment of the institution’s Vice-Chancellor.

According to the union, the institution’s laws provide for the office of the Vice-Chancellor to be held for a single tenure of 5 years, with the Governing Council submitting 3 nominees to the visitor for appointment.

The chairperson of the branch, Suleiman Jauro, and Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, in a press briefing, claims that the government violated these laws by appointing an acting professor as Vice-Chancellor, instead of a substantive one.
