THE Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Prof. Florence Obi, has relieved Prof. Victor Ecoma of his appointment as the Head of Department (HOD) of Fine and Applied Arts for alleged negligence and incompetence.
According to a statement signed by the university’s Registrar, Mr. Gabriel Egbe, on Monday, April 8, Ecoma was removed because he failed to present students of his department for the 36th convocation ceremonies of the institution held on March 22 and March 23.
“Prof. Ecoma’s action is an act of negligence of duty and a display of incompetence.
“He is directed to handover all properties of the institution in his possession to Prof. Echeta Chimezie, who has been appointed to take over from him,” the vice chancellor said.
