The lingering crisis rocking the Adamawa State University, ADSU, has been laid to rest, with the state government’s announcement of the removal of the university’s vice chancellor, Gabriel Shalla.
Announcing the state government’s decision, the state commissioner for Higher Education, Ahmad Rufa’i, said the removal of the VC became imperative in view of the cumulative problems the institution had been facing.
According to him, the removal of Mr. Shalla became necessary after the government took necessary measures of ending the protracted crisis in the institution.
He said issues ranging from allegations of financial misappropriation, ethnic and religious feuds within the university leadership and the entire university community had worried the government.
The commissioner therefore revealed that Governor Jibrila Bindow had approved the appointment Moses Zarwa to serve as the vice chancellor on acting capacity.
The commissioner also enjoined the staff and students of the university to cooperate with the new leadership to bring the vision and mission of school into fulfilment.
