Also the Vice Chancellor of Abia State University was directed to forward all details of the fees charged in the institution, to enable the government take its decision.
On rumours making rounds that the Rector of Arochukwu College of Education Technical has been fired by the state government, the commissioner said due procedures were not followed and therefore, pending the decision of the government, the rector remains in charge of the institution.
