University of Ibadan, Governing Councils of 12 new
federal universities and four new polytechnics and
Board of National Library of Nigeria. This took place
at the inauguration ceremony held on Tuesday in
Abuja.
While a former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba
Gbenga Daniel, is the Chairman, Governing Council of
Federal University in Kashere, Gombe State; a former
Deputy Governor of Osun State and ex-Minister of
State for Defence, Chief Olusola Obada, heads the
Governing Council of the Federal University in Dutsin-
Ma, Katsina State.
A former Chief of Army Staff during the regime of the
late dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha, Lt. Gen. Ishaya
Bamaiya (retd.), was also appointed Chairman,
Governing Council of the Federal Polytechnic of Oil
and Gas in Bonny, Rivers State.
Although Daniel and Bamaiyi were absent at the
inauguration ceremony, Obada and others received
their letters of authority.
The Minister said, "Governing Councils should ensure
that the funds allocated by government are
judiciously utilized. They should also come up with
ideas that will generate more revenue, outside
government allocations.
"In the course of your tenure, you should ensure that
proper attention and priority are accorded to the
relevant University laws, Polytechnics Act and
government guidelines in the appointment of
principal officers and other staff. You must ensure
that transparency, probity and due process are
followed in the selection and appointment so that the
best and the right candidates emerge for these
positions.
"The idea that the Chief Executive or any principal
officer should come from its locality is erroneous
and alien to the system and should not be allowed to
becloud your decisions. Merit should be the
watchword and guiding principle."
The Executive Secretary of the National Universities
Commission, Prof. Julius Okojie, was also on hand to
caution the Governing Councils against exhibiting
domineering attitude.
