CALABAR, NIGERIA— In a comprehensive institutional sweep focused on cleansing the scholastic ranks of dishonest practices, the Governing Council of the University of Calabar (UNICAL) has actually dismissed eight staff members and bied far severe career sanctions to another senior academic.
The sweeping disciplinary actions were validated during the organization’s 174th Governing Council meeting, following in-depth considerations on extensive forensic and disciplinary panels’ reports.
An official executive memo signed by the Registrar and Secretary of Council, Dr Mrs. Icha Chukwuka, verified the instant enforcement of the terminations.
Teacher Dismissed over Assessment Malpractice
Headlining the disciplinary list is Prof. Emilia Oyira of the Department of Nursing Science, who was dismissed from the university service on confirmed grounds of gross evaluation misconduct.
In an associated development within the same department, Dr Mathias Agba was found culpable of severe neglect of duty in connection with the same assessment misbehavior probe.

While getting away straight-out dismissal, the council bought that Dr Agba’s academic promo be strictly delayed for two subsequent advertising years, further directing that he forfeit 50 percent of his formerly withheld salary.
Absconding, Academic Scams, and Asset Vandalism Stamped Out
The Council’s terminations cut deeply across both the scholastic and non-academic departments of the university, targeting long-lasting truancy, records falsification, and the theft of public facilities.
In addition, four staff members were totally ended from the university payroll following prolonged periods of unauthorised lack and outright desertion of task posts.
The affected workers include Mr Ukachukwu Echezunachi Darlington (Chemical Pathology), Mrs Akinrinade Opayemi Ogunluyi (Microbiology), Dr Arum Priscilia Nchekwube (Internal Medicine), and Mrs Okoi Nyesam Eni (Scientific Medical Hostel).
The University Management, under the leadership of the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Offiong E. Offiong, stressed through the secretariat that the organization remains totally unwavering in its zero-tolerance policy towards administrative corruption, financial double-dealing, and intellectual scams.
The board reaffirmed its commitment to restoring UNICAL on a solid structure of absolute structural integrity and scholastic quality in service delivery.
