COOU VC Dispute: Court Sets October 15 for Judgment on Omenugha Sack Suit

The National Industrial Court of Nigeria will deliver judgment on October 15 in the suit challenging Prof. Kate Omenugha’s appointment as substantive Vice-Chancellor of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University. Prof. Chike Osegbue, who finished first in the selection process, is asking the court to nullify the August appointment and declare him as VC. He argues that the governor ignored the council’s recommendation and flouted university law. Counsel for Omenugha and the governor insists the visitor acted within his discretion and that the selection committee followed proper criteria. Justice John Tergama presided over the hearing and fixed the judgment date.
