The VC had been having a running battle with the institution’s chapter of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) which culminated in the splinting of the union into two.

The outgoing VC was accused of awarding most of the institution’s contracts to herself using her husband and children and engaging in some unwholesome practices which have negatively affected the university.

She was also accused of favouritism especially during the recent recruitment exercise where she was said to have given a larger percentage of those employed to her kit and kins from plateau State where she hailed.

At the send forth party organised for her at the school auditorium on Saturday, some staff and students were said to have booed the woman who was said to have hurriedly left the scene.

When contacted on her cell phone for her reaction, Prof Miri neither picked her calls nor responded to the text message sent to her.

The institution public relations officer Mr Benjamin Ojo did not also respond to  several calls made to him.
