The Federal Government has reconstituted the Governing Councils and Boards for the 111 federal universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.
Some weeks back, the Federal Government released a list of members of the reconstituted governing councils but the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and other stakeholders kicked against it over allegations of lopsideness. This prompted the withdrawal of the list for review.
But in a Friday statement, the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) released another list containing members of the governing councils.
