Joseph Ikechebelu has been reinstated as the acting vice-chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka (UNIZIK).
This follows the nullification of Bernard Odoh’s controversial appointment.
This development came after President Bola Tinubu dissolved the university’s 10th Governing Council and approved the reinstatement

Ikechebelu initially served in the role earlier this year but was removed by the university’s former council, which subsequently appointed Carol Arinze-Umobi.
Odoh later replaced Arinze-Umobi.
In a letter issued by the Federal Ministry of Education, the reinstatement was described as immediate, placing Ikechebelu back in charge of the university’s administration.
The institution also announced Victor Modebelu’s return as acting registrar, replacing Rosemary Nwokike.
The university has called on its community to cooperate with the reinstated officials as they work to restore stability and uphold the institution’s mission.
