Nigerian govt summons vice-chancellor who appointed 24 aides days after assuming office

The Nigerian government has called in the new vice-chancellor of the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) after he controversially appointed 24 aides just days after taking office. This swift move to staff his office has raised eyebrows, especially given the financial strains that many Nigerian universities face. The government's summons likely aim to address concerns about the appropriateness and timing of such a large number of appointments, highlighting broader issues of governance and fiscal responsibility in higher education institutions.
