Kogi VC dismisses fraud allegation

The Vice-Chancellor of Prince Abubakar Audu University, Anyigba, Kogi State, Prof Marietu Tenuche, has denied allegations of fraud levelled against her by the alumni association of the institution.

The alumni association of the institution dragged the vice chancellor to court, accusing her of misappropriation of N31m due to the association.

But addressing a news conference, Tenuche said, “Contrary to the purpose of alumni associations, the world over, the Kogi State University’s management has been, for many years, dealing with a few individuals, who, rather than seeking to pursue the ideals of an alumni association, resorted to devising ways of milking the university dry, at all cost.

“To set the records straight, the general public should be informed that suit no. AYHC/03/2023 pending before the Kogi State High Court of Justice, sitting in Anyigba, has no link whatsoever with an allegation of fraud against the office and person of the vice chancellor of the university.

“The alumni association of Kogi State University has been enmeshed in leadership crises for years now, with two factions, all laying claim to legitimacy as national executives of the association.”
