Jason Arday, former Cambridge University professor at centre of plagiarism row, found dead at home
Arday made headlines when the university appointed him as its youngest black professor in 2023 but he since faced snowballing claims he plagiarised parts of his PhD thesis.
The All Progressive Congress, APC, has denounced the suspension of Abia State University professor, Professor Nnamdi Nwaeze, over his social media posts criticizing the institution. Nwaeze was suspended for alleging that commercial Keke riders earn more than university professors. The Abia State chapter of the APC views this action as an attack on citizens expressing concerns about injustice, poor governance, and worker welfare.
Publicity Secretary Uche Aguoru stated that the suspension demonstrates the government's intolerance for dissent, constructive criticism, and accountability demands. The APC demands the immediate reinstatement of Professor Nwaeze.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, also supports Professor Nwaeze, asserting that his suspension stemmed from his advocacy for the university community's rights and entitlements. PDP chairman Abraham Amah expressed solidarity with Nwaeze, urging him to remain steadfast and confident in the face of the situation.
