So Moving An Induction For Safety Is Now Evidence Of University Collapse? – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance
SO MOVING AN INDUCTION FOR SAFETY IS NOW EVIDENCE OF UNIVERSITY COLLAPSE? 😂 The Absurdity of Treating Safety as Collapse There is something almost comic about the argument that because an induction ceremony involving ABSU medical students was reportedly moved from ABSUTH to Rhema University amid tension and threats, this must automatically prove that the university has collapsed. Really? 😂 Since when did taking precautions become evidence of institutional failure? If there were credible concerns around the original venue, then relocating the ceremony was not weakness; it was common sense. The students still graduated, the ceremony still held, families still…

The N158,000 ABSU Salary Story: Where The Deception Begins – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance
THE ₦158,000 ABSU SALARY STORY: WHERE THE DECEPTION BEGINS There is a legitimate conversation to be had about the remuneration of university lecturers in Nigeria, including lecturers at Abia State University.
