The staff and students of the University of Jos, on Monday, held a peaceful protest against a directive by the
National Universities Commission (NUC) suspending the process for the selection of a new vice-chancellor for the university.
Addressing journalists during the protest at the Naraguta Campus of the University, the secretary of the local branch of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Muplang Kangpe, decried the role of the NUC in the process.
“The involvement of the NUC in the selection process will truncate the due process laid down for the legal selection of the vice chancellor, that’s why we are protesting,” he said.
