The management of the University of Calabar (UNICAL) in Cross River State has relieved Prof. Victor Ecoma of his appointment as the Head of Department (HOD) of the university’s Fine and Applied Arts Department for alleged negligence and incompetence.
The removal of the HOD was disclosed in a statement issued by UNICAL Registrar Gabriel Egbe on Monday, April 8, 2024.
Egbe quoted UNICAL Vice-Chancellor Prof. Florence Obi as saying that Ecoma was removed because he failed to present students of his department for the 36th convocation ceremony of the institution which was held on March 22 and March 23.
