Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, took decisive action on Tuesday by relieving Prof. Bernard Matau of his duties as Vice Chancellor of the Plateau State University. Alongside this decision, the governor also terminated the appointments of one rector and three provosts from other state-owned tertiary institutions.
Prof. Matau, a member of the All Progressives Congress, had previously served as the state Commissioner for Higher Education before his appointment as VC. This move came as a surprise to many, as the reasons behind these decisions were not immediately provided by the government.
The announcement was made by the Secretary to the State Government, Samuel Jatau, who confirmed that Governor Mutfwang dissolved the Governing Council of the Plateau State University and canceled staff recruitment conducted in 2022 and early 2023. This decision impacts the leadership structure of multiple educational institutions in the state.
