President Tinubu sacks Benue University of Health’s pro-chancellor

The federal government has sacked Ohieku Salami from his position as pro-chancellor and chairman of the governing council of the Federal University of Health Sciences in Otukpo, Benue State.

The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, announced this on Wednesday, November 20.

Alausa said the decision was made due to actions considered “unbecoming of his office” and violations of established procedures.

A statement released by the Director of Press for the Federal Ministry of Education, Folashade Boriowo, outlined several unprofessional actions taken by Salami, including the suspension of the Vice-Chancellor without following the proper procedures.

The statement revealed that despite the ministry’s intervention and formal directives to reverse the unlawful suspension, Salami refused to comply.

Dr. Alausa emphasised that such conduct undermines the ministry’s supervisory authority over the university and threatens the stability and governance of the institution.
