Appointment
editAbayomi Fasina was the deputy vice Chancellor (Administration) until his appointment as the Vice-Chancellor.[3] His appointment became a subject of controversy when a suit marked, FHC/ABJ/CS/250/2021, challenging the process was instituted in a Federal High Court sitting in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, by a non-governmental Organization called Tableland Society For the Oppressed (TSFO).[4][5] The court in its ruling on 17 February 2022, held that the claimant (TSFO) did not have the legal right (locus standi) to institute the suit, while the trial judge (Justice Inyang Edem Ekwo) also ruled that the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the matter, and consequently struck out the suit.[5][6]
