Vice Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka Prof Benard Odoh has dismissed the allegation by his traducers that he is not a Professor insisting that the contest for the post of Vice Chancellor is over.
Odoh further stated that all other allegations against him were not only false but unfounded urging the public to discountenance them. At a press briefing held in Awka, Anambra State, on Friday, the Personal Assistant for Media and Publicity to the Vice Chancellor, Mr. Charles Otu, emphasized that; “The race for the seventh substantive Vice Chancellor was concluded on October 29, 2024, with Prof. Odoh emerging on top with 90 points.
” A National Industrial Court in Awka validated the Governing Council’s scoring templates, and the Ambassador Greg Mbadiwe-led Governing Council ensured fair hearing, responding to the Medical and Dental Council Association of Nigeria’s concerns.
“Prof. Odoh boasts an impressive academic background, having obtained his Bachelor of Science in Geological Sciences in 1999, Master of Science in Applied Geophysics, and Doctorate in Applied Geophysics from NAU in 2008.
“He also served as a visiting Professor of Geophysics at Federal University Gusau in 2014 and became a full Professor of Applied Geophysics in 2015,” Otu said. Otu urged the media to cross-check facts before publishing, describing Prof. Odoh as a pragmatically ambitious individual who prioritizes the public’s best interest.
