The education supervising ministry has annulled the recent appointment of Prof Bernard Odoh as the Vice Chancellor of the university following his appointment on Tuesday by the Governing Council of the university led by Amb. Greg Mbadiwe in a circumstance that was not acceptable to some stakeholders which prompted protests in some quarters.

A letter from the ministry of Education signed by the Permanent Secretary Mrs R. G. Ilyasu, has rendered the action of the council null and void.
