The Abia State University, Uturu, has sacked a senior lecturer, Dr Michael Ukaegbu, for an offence bordering on sex-for-marks.

This was revealed in a communiqué issued after the 148th Regular and Resumed Meeting of the Governing Council of the varsity under the chairmanship of the Pro-Chancellor, Adolphus Wabara, the ABSU Council-in-Session ratified the dismal of Ukaegbu, who was a former acting Head, Department of Mass Communication, for involvement in sex-for-marks.
