In a significant development at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Professor AU Nnonyelu has emerged in the University Senate Election as the top candidate for the office of Acting Vice Chancellor, following a senate voting process today.
According to sources, Professor Nnonyelu secured the highest number of votes among the candidates, polling a total of 132 votes; demonstrating the senate’s confidence in his leadership abilities and vision for the university.
However, a repeat of the bad egg is about to happen again; as the University Council are currently having an architectural plot to ensure that the winner, Prof Au Nnonyelu will not be presented with the letter. According to our source who pledged to remain anonymous, confirmed that the University Council have developed cold feet in announcing the golden fish – Prof Au Nnonyelu who has won the heart of the Senate and the University Community.
In a new development, and surprising to majority of the Senate, the Council is trying to bring other candidates they can suppress or bring back Prof Carol who served as Acting Vice Chancellor and through which the University went into shambles of itself which gave rise to the Drama of Appointment and counter appointment of the Max-B Hotel Vice Chancellor. This incidence placed the University in eyes of the public as a test of their integrity. May such sad menace never repeat itself.
From the Result of the Election,
Prof Au Nnonyelu 132 Votes
Prof Ada Sam Omenyi 63 votes
Prof Nnabuife Ezimma 22 votes
Prof Carol Umobi – 79 votes
Prof Nkechi Esemonu 9 Votes
As the university community awaits the next steps in the process, Professor Nnonyelu’s emergence is seen as a positive development, given his academic and administrative experience.
The appointment of an Acting Vice Chancellor is crucial for the university’s continued progress, and Professor Nnonyelu’s candidacy is expected to bring stability and continuity to the institution.
Let’s see how this development unfolds.
But as time ticks, UNIZIK Council should be careful not to ruin the aged-long integrity of the University.
