Fagbohun, a Professor of Environmental Law, was until his appointment, Director of Research at the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, University of Lagos.
Idris congratulated Fagbohun on his appointment, while commending the state ‎government and the governing council for following the path of wisdom in the selection process.
“We acknowledge the governing council for a job well done and the governor for picking the candidate on merit.
“The new VC will enjoy 100 per cent support as long as he adheres to the rules and regulations enshrined in the university’s constitution,” he said.
He urged the vice chancellor to always do the right thing and be people- oriented, praying that God gives him a discerning spirit to run the institution well.
Idris said the union would also ensure that its members do the right thing at all times.
“We would also ensure that some of our members, who are falling out of line, fall in ‎line and perform their duties effectively.
