UTURU, Abia State — The Management of Abia State University, Uturu (ABSU), has suspended Professor Nnamdi Nwaeze of the Department of Economics, Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences, over concerns surrounding social media posts attributed to him.

According to a press release signed by the university’s Deputy Registrar and Public Relations Officer, Chijioke Nwogu, the posts were considered “inimical to the interests of the University and uncomplimentary to the Visitor of the University.”

The university management has subsequently constituted an Investigative Panel to examine the matter and make appropriate recommendations.

The statement said the suspension takes immediate effect and will remain in place pending the outcome of the panel’s investigation.

The university authorities did not disclose further details about the specific social media posts in the statement.
