However, in the response dated 12 April and signed by the Acting Director of Human Resources, Victoria Omorodion, the agency backdated Mrs Goddy-Nnady’s retirement to take effect from 2 April. It rejected the official’s choice of July date. However, out of the three directors affected, two, including Mr Maiyaki, who now oversees the agency following the resignation of the immediate past substantive Executive Secretary, Abubakar Rasheed, have refused to retire, ignoring the provisions of the new PSR.
Sources close to the retired director said the management’s decision was taken to “punish her for insisting on exposing the two other directors’ failure to obey the government’s directive.” On Tuesday, Mrs Goddy-Nnady handed over to a deputy director in charge of academic matters, expressing her appreciation to the organisation for providing her the opportunity to serve.
She said during her tenure as director she strived to uphold the values and principles of the directorate, fostering collaborations and innovation in the establishment and management of 71 private universities. “I am certain that you will build upon these foundations and steer the directorate towards even greater achievements.”
