ACADEMIC FRAUD IN FACULTY OF LAW UNICAL!! PROF. WORUGJI AND REV PROF. UHUKA TO FACE PANEL.

ACADEMIC FRAUD IN FACULTY OF LAW UNICAL!! PROF. WORUGJI AND REV PROF. UHUKA TO FACE PANEL.

Trouble looms in the faculty of Law, University of Calabar as the Faculty is about to be strip off of two of its Professors, Prof Isreal Worugji and Rev Prof. Emeka Uhuka who are facing panel for alleged academic fraud. Prof Worugji is facing panel for the irregularities sorounding his promotion to the rank of Reader ( Associate Professor) in 2006 without a Ph.d and his status as a Professor of Law in the University of Calabar. It is alleged that the Law degree of Prof Worugji is questionable as he has no degree in Law. How he got to the Nigerian Law school and got called to the Nigerian Bar remains a mystery to the University Management, coupled with the fact that he holds a Ph.D in African Peace Studies and not LAW from the University of Ibadan after several failed attempts to get a Ph.D in Law from the University of Calabar and others; hence the question mark surrounding his promotion to the rank of Professor of Law. On the Other Hand,  Prof Uhuka, is alleged to be grossly under qualified to be a Senior Lecturer in the University, talk less of a Professor as he has zero teaching experience in any University before his appointment straight to the rank of Professor in the University of Calabar. Also from the curriculum vitea of Prof. Uhuka which he presented to the University for employment, he has less than 5 Academic publications with unknown publishers and has never supervised an under graduate or post graduate student prior to his employment/appointment as a Professor of Law in the university of Calabar. How he manipulated his way into being appointed straight to the rank of a Professor remains mysterious as the Academic Fraud Investigation Committee of the University of Calabar seeks to unravel the mysteries. In addition, it is alleged that Prof Uhuka has no school certificate, no Law degree, no Call to Bar certificate and no NYSC discharge Certificate.
Prof. Worugji and Rev Prof. Uhuka have both been served with  invitation letters dated the 27th day of February 2019 to face the panel. Prof. Worugji is due to face the panel on the 13th of March 2019 while Prof. Uhuka is due to face the panel on the 14th of March 2019.

It is worthy to note that Prof. Worugji has been petitioned severally by his colleagues, students and several group of People. Amongst his petitioners are the 1999 class of the Faculty of Law, university of Calabar and the learned silk, Mr. Joe Agi SAN.
All these allegations/petitions have always been swept under the carpet due to Prof Wurugji's strategy of always going to beg. Let us see what will happen this time around that the issue is before the Anti Fraud Committee of the University. The world is watching.
