Buhari overrules dissolution of university boards

President Muhammadu Buhari has ruled that boards and governing Councils of federal universities have not been dissolved.

A sweeping dissolution of Boards of Federal Government Parastatals, Agencies, Institutions and Government-Owned Companies was announced on 16 July.

All Vice Chancellors of Federal Universities have been informed of this exemption through a circular issued by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mr. Danladi Kifasi.

The boards of the universities were constituted in the dying days of the Jonathan administration.
