According to him, most of the staff sacked were said to have obtained their West African School Certificate xamination (WAEC) before their First School Leaving Certificate. They were also said to have falsified their age certificates and other relevant credentials.

Rumour has it that over 300 persons were affected by the sack but the spokesman said only 63 were dismissed. “They are not over 300 as being speculated. As I speak to you, they are 63 in number that has been disengaged”.
“There is this audit report that was brought out from where these people were disengaged, 63 of them. Some of them have age discrepancies in their records. Some people obtained doubtful First school leaving certificates; some obtained their WAEC before their First School Leaving Certificates.
“There are people who should have retired at the age of 65 or 70 years and they are still in service and also some Adjunct Professors who come from various places whose contracts has been reviewed up to five times. As of now, nobody among these people has been reinstated. The spokesman urged students who have suffered sexual harassment to come up with make a report to the school authorities for prompt action.
