A demoted professor of the Federal University ,Otuoke, in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, Mr Stephen Nwabuzor has dragged the Vice Chancellor, Professor Seth Accra Jaja and the management of the institution to Industrial Court.

The Governing Council of the institution had on its 10th meeting made key decisions involving appointments and discipline which led to the re-classification of some academic appointments by downgrading seven teaching staff appointments to lower ranks for lack of requisite scholarship including Professor Stephen Nwabuzor.

But the aggrieved, Professor Nwabuzor, in suit filed before the National Industrial Court, numbered NICN/YEN01/2019, sought the order of the court for a declaration that the regularisation of his appointment as a professor.


Nwabuzor argued that the institution’s letter of the appointment dated September 1, 2015 and the confirmation of his appointment voided the letter of February 21, 2017 demoting him.
