The Federal Government has appointed chancellors and Governing Councils of some Federal universities, who are expected to be the moral compass of the various universities to which they are assigned.

The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday said they would be expected to play a role in cementing relationships between communities in the country.

“You will recall that following the approval of the Mr President, I inaugurated Visitation Panels to all tertiary institutions in April 2021.

“The panels are currently rounding off their assignments and will soon submit their reports.

“You will also recall that I also recently inaugurated the Governing Councils of Federal Polytechnics and Colleges of Education.

“The inauguration of the councils is intended to strengthen these institutions for effective service delivery for national development and global competitiveness,” the minister said.

Mr Adamu said that the appointment was intended to also replace deceased chancellors of some Federal universities.

He said that the chancellors would be presented to the University community at an investiture ceremony or during the next convocation ceremony when the investiture would precede the conferment of degrees at convocation.
