Samson FolarinThe Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, has suspended embattled senior lecturer, Peter Ekemezie, over allegations of certificate forgery, plagiarism, among others. This was after weeks of reporting by The PUNCH on the senior lecturer, who had been allegedly covered up by some powerful forces in the school for years. He was to be promoted from the position of a senior lecturer to a Reader (associate professor) despite the allegations against him when our correspondent began reporting the case. “The issue of forged certificate had been known in the institution before the former VC promoted him to become a senior lecturer. A senior lecturer in the school, Dr Chigozie Anarado, said the decision was long overdue.
