‘It’s not true’: Acting UTG VC Professor Pierre Gomez dismisses reports higher education minister gave instruction for leaving VC Anjum’s personal security to be withdrawn

Acting UTG vice chancellor Professor Pierre Gomez has dismissed as ‘not true’ reports higher education minister gave instruction for the withdrawal of the security of outgoing vice chancellor of the university Professor Faqir Anjum.

“It is not true. The Officer is still with Prof Anjum. He (officer) normally receives directive from the Police and not MoHERST Minister,” Professor Gomez told The Fatu Network.

His comments come amid claims Professor Faqir Anjum’s personal security has been withdrawn on instruction from higher education minister Badara Joof.

Professor Anjum has been sent on home as his contract expires at the end of the month. The UTG is now set to search for a new vice chancellor.
