The Governing Council of Abia State University (ABSU), has inaugurated a search team to commence the process of recruiting the institution’s 9th substantive Vice-Chancellor.
Speaking during the inauguration at the Council Chamber, the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Council, Rt. Hon. Agwu U. Agwu, said the exercise was in compliance with Section 12(2)(b) of the Abia State University Law, “which mandates the constitution of a Search Team to identify and nominate qualified candidates for consideration by the Governing Council.”
The former Speaker, Abia State House of Assembly, explained that members of the committee were carefully selected to represent the various interest groups stipulated by law, based on their integrity and proven track records.
He charged the team to discharge its assignment with transparency, diligence and broad consultations to identify a highly qualified academic with the vision, competence and commitment to lead the university in an increasingly digital and technology-driven era.
