Furthermore, a committee has been set up to investigate the employment exercise and report to the State Governor in two weeks.
It would be recalled that Governor Wike recently, formally queried the sacked Vice Chancellor over reports of shooting within the school’s campus.
The governor also queried him over recent rampant complaints of ‘sorting’ within the university system.
In that query, Governor Wike directed Prof. Didia to respond in writing within 24 hours.
