12 September, 2024.
The Office of the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calabar has dispel the recent rumors regarding the purported sacking of Prof. Florence Banku Obi, our esteemed Vice-Chancellor.
We categorically state that these speculations are entirely baseless and unfounded as they are orchestrated by mischief makers and ignoramous.
Prof. Obi who is currently on approved leave remains the Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar.
We urge the public to disregard these rumors and advice those jostling to take over from her to rather concern themselves with how they can fit into the big shoes she will be leaving in unical rather than looking for ways to distract and discredit her.
The University system has remain robust and functional in her absence, thanks to her commitment to excellence and proper planning by ensuring that she handed over to Prof. Peter Okafor, one of her Deputy Vice Chancellors to act in her absence.
As we await her return, we are confident that Prof. Obi will continue her good works of leading the University of Calabar towards even greater heights.
E-Signed,
Comrade John B. Ogar
Head of Media, Office of the Vice-Chancellor,
University of Calabar.
