Minister of education,Mallam Adamu Adamu, reaffirmed the action at the
flag off of the 2015/2016 annual school census in Abuja on Thursday,
February 18.

Only recently, the government announced the sacking of 13 Vice
Chancellors of newly established federal universities including VC of
National Open Universities of Nigeria(NOUN),Prof. Vincent Tenebe.

When asked about the motive behind Tenebe's sack, the minister
explained that the professor was removed because of the petitions
against him.

Adamu was also asked if there is a possibility that the sacked VCs
will be recalled.

He answered with a question, asking, "Do you reverse
government decision simply because somebody has criticized them?
I don't think there is any decision of government not going down well
with everyone in the country.
"The ministry has received communications from some people who feel
like this and we are looking at this.

"What I am saying is that they have already written to us. We are
looking into their complaints. We will reply them"
