Tinubu dismisses Prof Aisha as VC of Uni Abuja, names an interim successor
By Uzair Adam
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has removed Aisha Maikudi as Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja, now renamed Yakubu Gowon University.
Her dismissal was announced just hours after she presided over the institution’s matriculation ceremony.
Maikudi’s tenure had been marred by controversy, with some lecturers alleging she held the position illegally.
In her place, Tinubu appointed Professor Lar Patricia Manko as Acting Vice Chancellor for a six-month term, with a directive that she would not be eligible to apply for the substantive position when it becomes available.
