The Statement added that Governor Wike had suspended the ongoing employment exercise at the university, adding that a committee had been set up to investigate the employment exercise and report to the Rivers State Governor in two weeks.

The sack of the University Vice Chancellor may not be unconnected to the recent upsurge in cult related activities where two students were killed in less than one week.
