AWKA — THE newly elected vice chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Professor Joseph Ahaneku, yesterday showered praises on the Air Vice Marshal Larry Koinyan-led Governing Council which on Monday elected him, promised to follow due process in the discharge of his duties.

Ahaneku’s position ran counter to the argument of one of the contestants to the exalted position, Professor Greg Nwakoby, who, on Tuesday, accused the Governing Council of bias, alleging that some council members demanded N60 million from him, despite the fact that he came first in the interview.

Speaking when members of the UNIZIK branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, paid him a courtesy call, Ahaneku promised to carry the entire university community and the stakeholders along in carrying in the discharge of his duties.
