President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed new members to the governing councils of three federal universities: the University of Abuja, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), and Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka (NAU).
This follows President Tinubu’s decision in February to dissolve the Governing Council of the University of Abuja and remove its then Vice-Chancellor, Aisha Maikudi, amidst controversy surrounding her eligibility for the position.
