The duo of Dr. Ejue and the Bursar, Mr. Sixtus Ushie are being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations of corruption with Mr. Ushie currently on suspension.
Meanwhile, the Governing Council of the institution in it’s last meeting held on December 14 – 15, 2017 upheld the report of its adhoc committee that suggested the suspension of the Provost.
