Professor Florence Obi, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calabar has claimed that her vacation to the United States was for the purpose of concluding collaboration discussions with the DePaul University. This claim was made public by an article on DetailingCrossRiver.org

The article went further to claim that the collaboration talks with various US base varsities started with the visit of Professor Margaret Workman and Umoh Isidore from DePaul University to Calabar in July.

The VC is also said to have visited the North Eastern Illinois University, where she met with Cris Toffolo, Director, International Programs and the Chair of Social Work Programs of the University, Professor Job Ngwe.

According to reliable sources, the main purpose of Professor Florence visit to Chicago was for a week long Leadership Development Programme for Vice-Chancellors and Principal Officers of Nigeria Universities organised by the Committee of Vice Chancellors of Nigeria in conjunction with the University of Chicago.

But surprisingly she wasn’t accompanied by any of her 5 principal officers including her DVC Academics, Professor Angela Oyo-Ita, who is a former Commissioner in Cross River or the DVC Administration, Professor Micheal Okom, who has the constituted duty of work closely with partnership with other institutions or the Registrar, Mr. Gabriel Egbe or even her Librarian, Professor Aniebiet Inyang Ntui, who is the Most Read Researcher in Nigeria and has recently received an appointment from the European Union.

The timetable for the various collaborations is said to have been worked out to start in January 2023 due to the ongoing ASUU strike.

I like this VC. I propose more women VCs in Nigerian Universities

She is the best VC in Nigeria in my opinion. Eventhough schools are closed, she is still working full time while on vacation. This is multitasking in plain sight.

Female VCs are doing wonders in our universities.
Even Kogi State University VC is also a female, and she's performing well. Infrastructural development here and there, accreditation of courses and many more. Kudos!

Ok

O

Even if na for enjoyment, enjoy jor....you ve worked for it

Ahhhhh

Ok

Damnnn niggar

They just dey use Students to catch cruise. Most Lecturers use Strike periods to lecture in Private universities and do their Private businesses

she really owes no one an explanation.

Nigeria is a mess cos that is what we tolerate. In life you get what you deserve and not what you want

wonderful

Omo they said you owe no one an apology..

they said you worked for it that you should enjoy life...

Abeg when will Hospital and Nepa go on strike, Let doctors nurses and nepa staffs all leave for Yankee on vacation.

They worked for it jare.

Mad people everywhere....MNK

Make dem free the woman joor. Is she ASUU?

And what if she travelled alone to save costs? Now the world has become a global village. She could also easily communicate with all the mentioned, while in America with the hosts and doing the job. Thankfully there is no allegation of embezzlement of funds against her.

The only people who travel in large groups are Nigerian legislators. They find various excuses to travel to America. Their wives also travel in groups as wives of legislators. The only purpose is to waste public funds, ensure that no balance is left in the accounts at the end of the year. They are the real crooks.

Is she the cause of the ASUU strike?

Just imagine this lame attempt @ damage control by a so call public office holder.

In all sincerity she owes no one any explanation. The only thing is that in leadership just be sensitive because of the many people who never understand anything so putting up pictures on social media sometimes is not needed. Just to prevent all these unnecessary explanations
