Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, SAN, the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council at the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), has taken a firm stance against corruption within academic institutions. Addressing journalists in Calabar on Sunday, he criticized university lecturers who exploit students through unethical practices such as forcing them to buy handouts, demanding payment for grades, or charging exorbitant fees for extra academic services.
He also expressed strong disapproval of lecturers involved in sexual harassment, stressing that such misconduct would not be tolerated at FUOYE. Citing his past experience as Pro-Chancellor at Lokoja University, Ndoma-Egba revealed that six professors were dismissed for similar offenses under his leadership.
“Our system must not be compromised for mere certificate acquisition,” he asserted. “University degrees should be globally respected.” He warned that corruption in academia damages the integrity of Nigeria’s education sector and must be eradicated.
As he assumes his new role at FUOYE, Ndoma-Egba’s commitment to academic integrity signals a decisive effort to eliminate corruption and foster a more credible university system in Nigeria.
