Medical and Dental Consultants’ Association of Nigeria (MDCAN) has said that at least eight Vice Chancellors of federal and state universities in Nigeria do not have PhD degrees, and yet have done credibly well in holding the positions, thereby dismissing the argument that a candidate must necessarily hold the degree to qualify for the position.
The National President, Professor Ken Ozoilo, in a statement, called on the Governor of Lagos state and Visitor to the Lagos State University (LASU), Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the Governing Council of the university to therefore be weary of discriminatory argument against Professor Olumuyiwa Odusanya in the selection of the vice chancellor of the university.
