According to him, at the end of the interview, the Joint Council and Senate Selection Board of the institution recommended three candidates for appointment in line with extant regulations governing the process.

The registrar explained that the council members had to vote to pick the new vice chancellor.

“Because of the closeness of the score of the three recommended candidates, a difference of 0.1 per cent, the Council decided to put it to vote and Prof. Oladiji came out tops, hence her appointment.

‘Under extant laws, appointment of Vice Chancellors of Universities is domiciled  with the Governing Council of Universites which, on the advice of an internal selection committee, has the power  to choose from any of the three best candidates submitted to it.

“According to a letter of appointment personally signed by Dr Igali, Prof. Oladiji’s appointment which takes effect from Tuesday, May 24, 2022 is for a single term of five years,” he stated.
