The management of the Federal University Gashua (FUG), Yobe State, have denied the news that has gone viral on social media that it has removed the school’s Vice Chancellor Prof. Andrew Haruna, over allegations of financial recklessness and corruption.
A statement signed by the school’s acting registrar/Secretary to Council Dr A.B. Shehu on Monday, said the letter purported to have been issued by the office earlier was unfounded.
