The Vice Chancellor of Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida College (IBBU) Lapai, Professor Abu Kasim Adamu, has been positioned on obligatory depart by Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, simply two months earlier than the tip of his tenure.
Sources reveal that Governor Bago directed the Commissioner for Tertiary Schooling, Abdullahi Adamu Mamagi, to ship the letter imposing the Vice Chancellor’s obligatory depart.
The Governor allegedly warned the Commissioner of potential dismissal if he did not implement the directive.
The explanations behind the obligatory depart stay undisclosed, as officers inside the ministry have shunned offering particulars on the matter. Nevertheless, insiders on the college recommend the suspension could also be tied to claims of the Vice Chancellor’s alleged disobedience and disrespect for state directives.
Following Adamu’s depart, Deputy Vice Chancellor for Administration, Hassan Ibrahim, has assumed the position of Performing Vice Chancellor and begun managing the college’s affairs.
The event has raised questions inside tutorial circles, as many await clarification on the Governor’s determination to position the Vice Chancellor on obligatory depart shortly earlier than his anticipated departure.
