Prof Odoh was recently appointed a Vice-Chancellor by a faction of the governing Council at a hotel in Awka recently. However, the appointment has been marred by controversy which has seen groups like ASUU and MDCN kick against the appointment as not having followed due process .


In a letter to the Pro- Chancellor of the institution by the Federal Ministry of Education which was signed by Mrs R.G Ilyasu, it stated that all appointment in the University are null and void till the new Minister of Education assumes office.


The letter reads:


“Sequel to your meeting with the Honourable Minister of State for

Education, (HMSE) held on Friday, 25th October, 2024, it was formally agreed that no appointments should be carried out by your Council without reconciling with the

aggreved parties in the University Community.


“It has come to the attention of the Ministry that your Council had gone ahead

to appoint a Vice Chancellor for the University without the Representative of the

Ministry, the internal council members and other Stakeholders on Tuesday, 29th

October, 2024.


“This is a gross disregard to constituted Authority and is not in line

with Extant provisions.


“Against this backdrop: I am directed to inform you that all appointments

made so far are null and void.



“You are therefore requested put on hold all other

appointments in the University pending the assumption on duty of the new

Honourable Minister of Education.


“Please accept the assurances of the esteemed regards and considerations of

the Permanent Secretary Education.
