The Nasarawa State House of Assembly has suspended the Vice Chancellor (VC) of the Nasarawa State University, Keffi.
Professor Mohammed Mainoma was suspended on Monday on allegation of abuse of office and admission irregularities.
The 24-member House, in a unanimous voice vote, arrived at the decision after the Vice Chancellor appeared before the House to answer questions bordering on admission racketeering.
The Chairman, House Committee on Information, Makpa Malla, made the disclosure in Lafia, the state’s capital.
He stressed that Professor Mainoma’s suspension was to pave the way for a thorough investigation after some candidates bearing Igbo names with Nasarawa State certificate of origin allegedly secured admission with false documents. (Channels TV)
