 I can’t be dismissed through press statement, sacked UNIZIK VC replies presidency


The sacked Vice-Chancellor of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, Prof Bernard Odoh, on Thursday, lamented the mode through which he was removed as the institution’s VC, stating that it didn’t go through a due process.


Odoh’s concerns follow his sack and that of the institution’s governing council over his purported “illegal” appointment.


In a statement issued on Wednesday by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, it stated that the Federal Government needed to wade in to address brewing tensions.


However, Odoh, in an interview on Thursday, maintained that he won’t accept his removal through a press release but rather after the recommendations of an investigating council.


He said, “I’m not disobeying Mr President, but it is the governing council that will recommend my sack after investigating me,” adding that “Mr President could have been ill-advised.”


“You can’t fire somebody you didn’t employ. The Visitor (Tinubu) appointed the council and the council followed due process to engage and give me a letter. He can’t remove me through a press release.


“There was no panel of inquiry. I was not appointed through a press release but rather by a constituted authority which followed a straightforward procedure,” he added.
