EXCLUSIVE: Fresh crisis looms as LASU shortlists candidates without PhD for VC position
Two of the candidates shortlisted do not have a PhD despite NUC s position that a fellowship of any professional bodies or organisation cannot be substituted for a PhD.
It appears the management of the
Lagos State University (LASU) has failed to learn from the controversy that led to the recent cancellation of the appointment of a new vice-chancellor for the institution.
The school has again shortlisted two candidates without PhDs (Doctor of Philosophy) for its vacant vice chancellor position despite the position of the National Universities Commission (NUC), the agency that regulates university education in Nigeria, that fellowships of any professional bodies or organisation cannot be substituted for a PhD.
