Abia State University (ABSU) suspends Professor Nnamdi Nwaeze, a lecturer in the Department of Economics, with immediate effect after he makes allegations on his Facebook page. Nwaeze claims that some professors in the institution earn less than N400,000 per month and that the combined earnings of tricyclists (“keke” riders) can exceed what professors receive at ABSU.
ABSU says the social media posts are harmful to the institution’s interests and announces that an investigative panel has been set up to examine the matter. Both outlets report the suspension and the same core allegations, with no additional details provided on the outcome of any investigation or whether Nwaeze offers a response beyond the claims themselves.
