The Governing Council of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) has assured Nigerians that the selection process for the next Vice-Chancellor of the university will be fair and equitable for all candidates.
Ibrahim Sheme, the Director of Media and Publicity at NOUN, released a statement on Thursday in Abuja addressing a news item circulating on social media regarding the ongoing search for the new Vice-Chancellor.
Sheme clarified that the report focused on a potential candidate whose name was not included in a list of nominees, suggesting that this individual could not be considered for the position.
“The University hereby categorically states that the names of members on the so-called congregation’s list are not final and in no way represent the list of members qualified to be Vice-Chancellor. Indeed, the said name has been included in the congregation list,” the statement added.
Sheme explained that the deadline for application for the post of NOUN Vice-Chancellor, as advertised in three (3) national dailies, has not been reached.
“The search for the next VC is therefore not foreclosed; it is a work in progress which continues until the advertised deadline is reached.
“The Council hereby assures the University community that the selection process will be fair and just to all.
“The general public is advised to ignore any such publications that clearly aim to misinform and stoke the embers of controversy on the selection process for the next Vice-Chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN),” the Open University stated.
