The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, has summoned the Pro-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Joshua Waklek, to a meeting in Abuja on Wednesday (today).
The summon to the meeting was contained in a letter from the National Universities Commission.
This followed the inability of the premier institution to elect a vice-chancellor for the university.
The outgone VC, Prof. Idowu Olayinka, had to hand over to an Acting VC, Prof. Adebola Ekanola, following the crisis that attended the process for the emergence of a successor.
The summon, which came through the National Universities Commission, was issued by its Executive Secretary, Prof. Abubakar Rasheed.
The letter, signed on behalf of Rasheed by the Deputy Executive Secretary (Academic), Dr. Suleiman Ramon-Yusuf, and dated November 27, 2020, said in part: “The Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council is also directed to attend a meeting with the Hon. Minister of Education in his office on Wednesday on December 2, 2020 at 11am to brief the Hon. Minister on developments following the ministerial directives on the resolution of the Impasse.”
