Controversy Erupts Over UNICAL VC Appointment Criteria
Former presidential aide Okoi Obono-Obla faces criticism for opposing the reservation of the Vice Chancellor position at the University of Calabar for indigenes of Cross River State. He argues for an open and merit-based selection process, citing examples of non-indigenes serving as Vice Chancellors in other Nigerian universities.
The debate intensifies as the tenure of Prof. Florence Obi, the current VC, nears its end, leading to calls for a fair and transparent succession process. Social media users express varying opinions on the matter, highlighting the need for leadership competence over regional considerations.
