The Vice Chancellor of the Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida University (IBBU) Lapai, Professor Abu Kasim Adamu has been sent on compulsory leave by Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago.
The compulsory leave is coming two months ago before the end of his tenure in the institution.
It was gathered the Governor directed the Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Abdullahi Adamu Mamagi, to issue the letter to the Vice Chancellor threatening to sack the Commissioner if he fails to carry out the directive.
Details regarding the reason for the suspension and compulsory leave are unknown as staff in the ministry keep mum over the issue.
However, some university sources confirmed the Deputy Vice Chancellor Administration, Hassan Ibrahim has been appointed as the Acting Vice Chancellor and has taken over.
Some of the sources stated that the reason for his suspension may not be unrelated to his alleged disobedience and disregard for directives of the State Government.
