The Michael and Cecilia Ibru University in Delta State has suspended Pro-Chancellor Anthony Kila pending an investigation into allegations that he is not an actual professor. The university announced the decision on Tuesday, following a probe that found no evidence Kila held a recognized academic position. Kila claimed he was awarded the "Jean Monnet Professor of Strategy and Development" by the European Centre for Advanced and Professional Studies, but the newspaper could not locate any proof of this institution's existence.
Moreover, the European Education and Culture Executive Agency did not have any record of Kila as a Jean Monnet coordinator. The university stated the move was necessary to uphold academic integrity, transparency, and governance standards. His name and photograph have been removed from the university's website.
