its educational system is poor

have been sacked.

has been given for the disengagement of the
register, the two deputy directors might have

to the award of a N25 billion contract which was
without the knowledge of either the federal
ministry of education or the governing board of
the council.
Others said Professor Charles Uwakwe may have
been fired for allegedly recruiting some staff
without the knowledge of the appropriate
authorities.
