Battle at Ojukwu University: VC Extends Rival’s Suspension by Three Months

The Vice Chancellor of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Prof. Kate Omenugha, has extended Prof. Chike Osegbue’s suspension by another three months. A letter from the university registrar enforces the extension from April 14, maintaining all restrictions issued in January. Osegbue was initially suspended on January 7 for allegedly failing to teach a postgraduate course assigned to him. The extension is intended to give the Senior Staff Disciplinary Committee more time to conclude its investigation. Osegbue, who was a leading candidate in the last VC selection, has challenged Omenugha’s appointment in court. He argues that the new VC did not rank among the top three candidates as required by university law.
