Confusion has erupted at the University of Calabar (UNICAL) after the Vice Chancellor, Prof Florence Banku Obi, sent hundreds of students in the Faculty of Dentistry & Dental Surgery home due to over admission beyond the approved quota by the Nigerian Medical and Dental Council.
Florence Obi is trending because that’s the name of the University of Calabar Vice Chancellor who allegedly told over 300 dentistry students to go learn a trade.
In 2024, Prof. Florence Banku Obi announced that FG had increased their quota to 300, apparently it was false, and it gave the students false hopes.
Now, UNICAL students are accusing her administration of incompetence and deliberately sabotaging their careers and lives. Prof. Florence has been the VC since December 2020.
She initially ran for office in 2015 but lost the election until 2020 when she become Unical’s first ever Female VC.
She has four children and six grand kids, allegedly, one of her children is an active politician and she’s allegedly an APC member.
Her tenure as VC expires this year, in a few months time.
