The students said: “It is on record that within three years the University has had three Vice Chancellors as opposed to the possible fifteen years of the cumulative tenure of the three Vice Chancellors. “This raises serious questions: how can three different Vice Chancellors be the problem of a single university under one administration.” The under graduates allege that the current administration has neglected them and they are willing to protest the resumption of the newly appointed Vice Chancellor until their grievances are addressed.

This notion is also adopted by the schools lecturers who say that the removal of the VC was against the school’s law because the university council was not consulted before the suspension was announced. Yalmi also went ahead and talked about the non accreditation of courses. “Contrary to the norm, PLASU has not gone for accreditation two years after the assumption of academic activities,” he said. “This is not unconnected to the breakages in the chain of the university administration by the Jang-led administration. We are equally aware that the VC Prof. Sheni inherited the process of accreditation from Prof. Nenfort Gomwalk and has vigorously pursued it, leading to a successful mock accreditation and unfortunately the government is yet to release the funds that will guarantee the successful execution of the main accreditation.” The university was established during the administration of Joshua Dariye, however current governor, Jonah Jang in 2007 suspended all school activity due to shabby infrastructure and lack of permanent staff. He only reopened the university four years ago and no improvement to the infrastructure has yet been made. Follow NAIJ.COM on Twitter!
