The management of the University of Calabar has suspended the Dean, Faculty of Law, Professor Cyril Ndifon for following sexual harassment allegations leveled against him.
The suspension according to the university, takes effect from August 17, 2023, as contained in a letter signed by the University Registrar, Gabriel Egbe.
The letter says Professor Ndifon’s suspension became necessary following an investigative panel set up by the Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Florence Obi.
