Clinical lecturers at the University of Calabar have commenced indefinite withdrawal of their services over what they describe as deliberate exclusion from the ongoing selection process for the institution’s next Vice Chancellor.

Just days before her May 2025 graduation, Garcia learned her mother had been hospitalized in Mexico. She died on April 30, less than two weeks before the ceremony. “It’s such a heartbreak to have to go through that as such a young age. She knew I was about to graduate.
