<p><br>The Nigerian government has reportedly ordered the vice chancellor of Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Professor Ikechukwu Dozie, to immediately withdraw his appointment of twenty-four aides.</p>
<p>This contained a leaked directive dated June 25th, 2026, allegedly signed by Kareem O. L., acting director of university education on behalf of the minister of education. </p>
<p>The government in the purported directive cited alleged breaches of due process as the reason for the directive.</p>
<p>Recall that Prof. Dozie assumed office on June 19th, 2026, as the 9th VC of FUTO Owerri.</p>
<p>Thereafter, a report emerged that the VC appointed 24 aides. </p>
<p>Reacting to the alleged leaked correspondence, the ministry faulted the appointments and directed the vice-chancellor to reverse them “forthwith” and provide evidence of compliance without delay.</p>
<p>The government reportedly described the appointments as irregular and inconsistent with regulations governing Nigeria’s federal universities.</p>
<p> “At variance with the extant regulations, established procedures, and the principles of due process governing appointments within the Federal University System.”</p>
<p>Beyond the order to cancel the appointments, the leaked letter also summoned the vice-chancellor to Abuja for an urgent meeting with officials of the Ministry on June 29.</p>
<p>A copy of the communication was also forwarded to the National Universities Commission (NUC), a move experts say underscores the seriousness of the matter and the potential implications for university governance.</p>
<p>As of the time of filing this report, neither the management of FUTO nor officials of the Federal Ministry of Education had publicly commented on the leaked directive.</p>
