UNICAL Saga: Dean to refund illegal monies extorted from law students

The management of the University of Calabar has directed the former Dean of the Faculty of Law, Prof.Cyril Ndifon to refund all illegal monies extorted from students under various sub-heads.

The Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Florence Obi, disclosed this yesterday while addressing Newsmen in her chambers on issues surrounding the alleged sexual harassment, extortion and other corrupt practices leveled against the embattled Dean by students.

She said the move was among some of the resolutions adopted by the management to address some of the issues raised and that various committees have been set up to look into all the allegations.

She said, ” Today, I am before you with mixed feelings; feelings of sadness, that, we are on the headlines globally over a seemingly ignominious issue and on the other hand slightly glad that we have a glorious opportunity to set things right as it affects our work ethics and cherished values in the University.

“Management resolved with the staff on the need for some basic changes to be effected, to avoid the continuous overbearing influence and power of any Dean of Faculty of Law over the students.
