BREAKING: FG sacks Ohieku Salami as Pro-Chancellor of Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo

The federal government has announced the removal of Engr. Ohieku Muhammed Salami as the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of the Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo, Benue State.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the government cited “actions unbecoming of his office and violations of established procedures” as the reason for his removal.

The statement, from the Federal Ministry of Health, highlighted a series of unprofessional actions by Engr. Salami, including suspending the Vice-Chancellor without following the proper procedures.

Despite intervention by the Federal Ministry of Education and formal requests to reverse the suspension, Salami reportedly refused to comply and engaged in abusive and threatening behavior toward the ministry’s directors, including the permanent secretary.

Minister of Education Dr. Tunji Alausa expressed concern that such conduct undermines the Ministry’s role in overseeing the university and threatens the institution’s governance and stability.

As a result, the Minister has called for the appointment of a new Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council to restore proper governance and ensure the university operates in accordance with the rule of law, due process, and accountability.

The government emphasized that the changes take immediate effect and reaffirmed its commitment to good governance and the continued growth and development of the nation’s universities.
