Abia State University, Uturu (ABSU), has actually suspended Teacher Nnamdi Nwaeze of the Department of Economics over social media posts presumably deemed “hostile to the interests of the University” and “uncomplimentary” to the organization’s Visitor, Guv Alex Otti of Abia State.
The suspension, which takes instant impact, was revealed by the university in a statement issued on Thursday, August 13, 2026, by its Media and Public Relations Unit.
The declaration was signed by the Deputy Registrar and Public Relations Officer of the university, Chijioke Nwogu.
According to the university, the decision followed concerns arising from “numerous social networks posts attributed to Professor Nwaeze.”
“Management has suspended Teacher Nnamdi Nwaeze of the Department of Economics, Professors of Economics and Management Sciences,” the declaration said.
It explained that the suspension was necessitated by concerns over social networks publications credited to the teacher, which the management thought about “hostile to the interests of the University and uncomplimentary to the Visitor of the University.”
Nevertheless, the university did not disclose the particular social media posts allegedly made by Nwaeze or provide information of the comments thought about offending or contrary to the interests of the organization.
The organization also did not state whether the teacher had been given a chance to respond to the allegations before the suspension was announced.
In a move to examine the matter, the university said it had actually made up an Investigative Panel to examine the circumstances surrounding the declared social media posts.
According to the statement, the suspension will stay in force pending the result of the panel’s examination.
The development has drawn in attention since Governor Alex Otti, whom the university said the alleged posts were “uncomplimentary” to, is the Visitor of Abia State University.
The university, however, did not declare that Teacher Nwaeze committed any criminal offense, nor did it reveal any final disciplinary finding against him.
The suspension for that reason stays an administrative step pending the result of the examination by the panel made up by the university management.
The organization is expected to communicate its choice on the matter after the investigative process is concluded.
