Governor Umaru Al-Makura of the central Nigerian state of Nasarawa on Thursday suspended the Vice Chancellor of the state university, Keffi, Prof. Shamsudeen Amali.<\/p>\n

A statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Hajiya Zainab Abdulmumin, said the governor also directed the management of the university to proceed on a 6-month compulsory leave.<\/p>\n

Amali said the governor, however, approved the replacement of Amali by Prof. Aminu Mukailu, a former Vice Chancellor of Kaduna State University, on interim basis.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Innocent Lagi, said the decision to suspend the management of the institution was reached at the meeting of the State Executive Council.<\/p>\n

He said the council deliberated on the recommendations of a visitation panel set up in January by the government before taking the decision.<\/p>\n

Lagi said an independent committee was constituted to further look into the recommendations of the panel.<\/p>\n

He said Prof. Mukailu would oversee the activities of the institution, pending the outcome of the independent committee\u2019s assignment.<\/p>\n

Al-Makura had in January, inaugurated a visitation panel to look into the activities of the state-owned tertiary institutions, to reposition them for better performance.<\/p>\n
