Education Minister Maruf Alausa faces a lawsuit about choosing the University of Benin leader. Lawyers want him to hold a new election for the job. They say Prof. Edoba Omoregie should not have the position. The group claims he broke rules during his time away from the school. They filed papers to take the case to court.
The lawyers say Omoregie took money from two places at once. He worked at another school from 2014 to 2024 but kept his Benin job. The group wants to see test scores from 25 people who tried for the position. They asked for this information under freedom laws. They gave the minister seven days to respond.
The Association of Legislative Drafting wants the court to cancel the appointment. They claim the selection process was not fair or clear. The lawyers say Omoregie stayed away from Benin too long. They want officials to investigate him for taking double pay. The group believes new rules were broken during the hiring process.
