It was a mockery Send-Forth in the midst of jubilation galore for staff and students of the Federal University Lokoja on Saturday as Professor Angela Freeman Miri bows out of office after completing her five-year term as the Vice-Chancellor of the university.
At the send forth party organised for her at the school auditorium on Saturday, some staff and students were said to have booed the woman as Students and staff cellebrated her departure.
The obituary pictures of the over 59-year-old Vice-Chancellor were pasted in the front of her office and strategic areas of the campus to mock the woman who was described ‘as full of pride high handedness.’
The obituary picture reads: “With gratitude to God, we announce the successful passing into hell of the tyranny personified ANGELA FREEMAN MIRI whose happy end occurred on February 12th 2021 after 5 years of corruption.”
The former VC was said to had been into a running battle with the institution’s chapter of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) which culminated in the splinting of the union into two.
The outgoing VC was accused of awarding most of the institution’s contracts to herself using her husband and children and even engaging in some unwholesome practices which have negatively affected the university.
She was also accused of favouritism especially during the recent recruitment exercise where she allegedly gave a larger percentage of those employed to her kit and kins from plateau, her home State.
All efforts to reach her through her cell phone for her reaction failed as Prof Miri neither picked her calls nor responded to the text messages.
