The Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar Prof. Florence Obi has assured the Nigeria Bar Association that the ongoing investigation of Prof. Cyril Ndifon, suspended Dean of the faculty of Law, would be transparent and devoid of bias.
According to Vanguard, she gave the assurance on Wednesday in Calabar when officials of the NBA, led by the first National Vice President, Mrs Rose Bala, paid her a courtesy visit.
The Vice-Chancellor who spoke expressed dismay over the ugly incident of allegations of sexual harassment of female students and abuse of office leveled against the embattled Dean, applauded the NBA for its show of concern.
“A committee has already been set- up to carry out a thorough investigation to
authenticate the veracity of the allegations; the matter will not be treated with kid gloves.
“The corporate image of the institution is at stake, a cogent reason why we will ensure that fairness and transparency are deployed in the course of the investigation,” she maintained.
The VC added that those found guilty would be made to face the full weight of the law while the University Management would beam its searchlight on the Faculty of Law to forestall a reoccurrence.
