Six lecturers of the Delta State University, DELSU, Abraka, have been
sacked by the institution’s Governing Council for various offences
ranging from extortion, sexual harassment, leaking of examination
questions, to bribery and corruption.
The sack of the lecturers is
coming on the heels of the recommendation by the Senior Staff
Disciplinary Committee of the university who indicted the lecturers for
the offences.
According to a bulletin issued by the management of
the institution, six of the lecturers were dismissed while four others
were demoted and received various degrees of query for their conducts.
The bulletin which was signed by the university’s registrar, Mr D. A.
Urhibo, said: “This is to inform staff, students and other members of
the University community that the under listed staff (names withheld)
were disciplined by the University Governing Council for various
offences at its 97th regular meeting held on Friday, 12th August, 2016.”
Warning
lecturers to desist from acts of anti-official activities capable of
bringing the university to disrepute, Vice Chancellor of the
institution, Prof. Victor Peretomode stressed that henceforth, any
lecturer found wanting will face the penalty of sack without benefit.
