According to him, the school’s financial turmoil is because of mismanagement that dates back to 2012, years before he was appointed Vice Chancellor of the university.

“Again, because of some people’s gains, dubious contracts were entered into, putting a financial burden on the institution; so I had to abrogate some of the contracts which we are trying to pay now,” he bemoaned.

He also said that the authorities of the university are reaching out to seek funds to sustain it.
