The Federal Government has directed all the outgoing vice chancellors in federal universities to nominate a Deputy Vice Chancellor to temporarily serve as acting vice chancellor of their respective institutions pending the process of appointing a substantive Vice-Chancellor.<\/p>\n
The directive was conveyed by the National Universities Commission (NUC) in a circular to the outgoing vice chancellors, which was dated May 28, 2024, and made available to journalists on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The document, signed by the acting Executive Secretary of NUC, Chris Maiyaki, said the move was prompted by a directive from the Federal Ministry of Education, which duly notified the Commission on the tenure expiration of some vice chancellors.<\/p>\n
Maiyaki said that the appointment of the acting vice chancellors should be done through the recommendations of the Universities\u2019 Senates, adding that the soon-to-be inaugurated Governing Councils of the universities will appoint acting vice chancellors for a specific period after their inauguration and thereafter commence selection process for substantive VCs in their respective institutions.<\/p>\n
The letter reads in part; \u201cI write, further to previous communication Ref. No. NUC\/ES\/138\/Vol. 65\/88 and dated 27 May 2024, to convey the directive of the Federal Ministry of Education, vide its letter Ref.
