UNIBEN sacks two professors, former bursar, 16 other senior staff

The University of Benin has announced the termination of 18 of its senior staff’s appointment over sundry offences. The decision was taken by the University’s Governing Council.

Among those sacked was Mrs. May Nwoye, the university’s former Bursar. Also affected were two other professors of the University.

A statement by the registrar of the University, Mrs. G.O Ogboghodo said Nwoye’s offence was that she abandoned her duty post after she left the office of the bursar.
