President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has relived the newly appointed Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja, now known as Yakubu Gowon University, Professor Aisha Sani Maikudi of her duties as Vice-Chancellor.
The President also dissolved the entire governing council .
The move is a response to several petitions and misgivings over the appointment of Maikudi who many professors in the institution says was unqualified for the position and was ‘helped’ by the Governing Council to gain unfair advantage over other better qualified candidates. The now dissolved Council headed by Air Vice-Marshal Saddiq Ismaila Kaita (Rtd) announced her Vice Chancellorship on December 31,2024 .
