The management of the University of Calabar-UNICAL has suspended the Dean, Faculty of Law, Prof. Cyril Ndifon for alleged violation of the provisions of the extant laws and policies of the institution.
According to The Nation Newspaper, the report says: "The suspension came days after some law students of the institution protested alleged s3xual harassment against the dean."
Although, this same Prof. Cyril was suspended in 2015 for the same issue but was said to have cleared himself after a legal tussle.
The Nation also reported that: "A letter by the University Registrar, Mr. Gabriel Egbe, said the current suspension takes effect from August 17, 2023."
"According to the letter, the suspension came on the heels of the Dean’s response to a query by the University Management which the Vice Chancellor was dissatisfied with."
"The letter reads this; ” Please refer to our letter Ref UC/REG/DISC.45A dated August 14, 2023 on your alleged violation of the provisions of the extant laws and policies of the University and your response to the said letter which was dated 16th August, 2023."
