Mr Hamisu-Bichi, during the meeting, explained that the special senate session was summoned to elect an acting vice-chancellor, pending the selection of a substantive one.
Mr Hamisu-Bichi said as his tenure would end, there was the need to have an acting vice-chancellor in order not to create a vacuum,
