The University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) Governing Council has suspended the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Augustine Angba.
CONVERSEER gathered that Angba was suspended today, Monday, 6th May 2024, by the Governing Council over alleged gross misconduct.

The staff who were protesting non-payment of 5 months salary arrears were carrying placards, some of which read: “This Management and the VC must go,” “We don’t want them any longer,” and several others.
However, Angba berated the staff unions, claiming that four members hijacked the staff union, inciting others to go out to the streets to protest. READ MORE HERE.
