The staff unions of the University of Abuja have recently endorsed the newly appointed Vice Chancellor of the institution.

According to the UniAbuja chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Dr. Ben Ugheoke, the selection of the VC by then governing council did not go contrary to the established law since the appointment of the VC has always favoured the final 3 man list that were submitted to the council.

They pledged the willingness to work with the new VC in the interest of the university.

He also debunked the report that that a group of lecturers have dragged University of Abuja to National Industrial court Abuja over the allegation that the appointment of the third best candidate as the Vice-Chancellor didn’t follow due process.

Other unions in the institution that followed in the endorsement of the newly appointed VC include Senior Staff Academic Associations (SSANU), Non Academic Staff union of Universities (NASU) and National Association of Academic Technicians (NAAT).
