The Rector of Abia State Polytechnic, Aba, Elder Allwell Onukaogu and the Provost, State College of Education (Technical), Arochukwu, Dr. Christian Nwanmuo have been sacked by State Government, over alleged mismanagement of the two institutions.
The governing councils of the two institutions were also dissolved while the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academics) of the State University at Uturu, Prof. Uche Ikonne and Prof. Nnenna Kanno were directed to take over as the Rector of the Polytechnic and Provost of the College, respectively..
Sources hinted that the sack of Onukaogu and Nwanmuo may not be unconnected with the backlog of salaries and allowances spanning five to seven months owed staffers of the two institutions.
A statement signed by the secretary to the state government, Prof. Mkpa Agu Mkpa added that the government would soon reconstitute the governing councils of the two institutions. The statement further directed the two former heads to complete handover formalities by Tuesday next week.
