How Ex-Bursar Ridiculed Varsity in Ghana

How Ex-Bursar Ridiculed Varsity in Ghana

By Inyali Peter

PETER AGIInvestigation into the improprieties that led to the decision of the Management and Governing council of the University of Calabar, (UNICAL) to axe ex-Bursar, Mr. Peter Agi has revealed a shocking details on how he (Agi) ridiculed the institution in Ghana. 

A document exclusively obtained my Fearless Reports has revealed that Agi subjected the prestigious institution to national and international ridicule and disrepute. 

In fact, the Ghana incident which was cited showed that he was not just out to sabotage the growth of the institution but to ensure he reduced the university to nothing within and beyond the shores of this country.


In December 2015, the university was billed to participate in the Pan-African Universities Debating Championship held at the university of Ghana, Legion. The Vice Chancellor who is statutorily responsible for making approvals performed his duty by approving an undisclosed sum of money for the program. But regrettably after an unnecessary delay, Agi reluctantly released a day after the championship had commenced only insignificant part of the approved funds.

He deliberately refused to release funds for the registration of the participants. This created an embarrassing scenario for the varsity contingents as they were not only humiliated but denied tournament materials. They were only allowed food after the leader of the team called Nigeria to borrow money from his wife to pay part of the registration fees.

To show clearly that Agi was committed to ridiculing the university, he released the exact amount of money previously approved by the Vice Chancellor. But this was after hundreds of embarrassing emails to the contingent leader from Legon demanding that the university pays the University of Ghana the 1,300 cedis  debt incurred during the tournament.


Painfully, it was so frustrating that when Agi released the money, it could no longer defray the indebtedness as the exchange rate of the Naira to Dollar at the time of application was about N200. By the time the Bursar released the approved registration fee, the exchange rate had skyrocketed above N300. 


Because of this, the University of Ghana today sees UNICAL as a dishonorable and disreputable institution in addition to the disgrace which the situation subjected the university community and the entire country to. 


May be only this his removall and consitent explanation by UNICAL with verifiable facts that prompt approval was given can prevent the total collapse of the mutual relationship that existed between the institutions.


While a lots have been said about the ex-bursar utter disregard for constituted authorities especially when it concerns releasing duly approved funds for staff and management, little or nothing has been said on how this almost ruined the reputation of the university in the international Community. 


Perhaps, his actions would have been excused considering the fact that he never had real experience on how a bursar should function prior to his appointment, but his ridiculous excuses that he was defiant to orders to release funds for academic activities because he was trying to be conservative with public funds as well guiding the university against unnecessary spending shows that he was fully conscious of what he was doing.


This is so because document obtained in the course of this investigation shows that any approval that concerns him directly or some of his allies were given speedy released. 


For instance, when he ingloriously sent his wife who is neither a staff nor contractor of the university to a conference on behalf of the institution, he unilaterally released over N3 million without consulting with the Vice Chancellor. Probably, he was scared that such approval would never have seen the light of the day.


Like stated in other articles about Agi's tenure as Bursar, all units, staff and students of any institution are there first for the purpose of academics before anything. This is why it's always emphasized that every activity in an academic environment must be geared towards advancing knowledge.


Regrettably, rather than work to improve and manage the reputation of the varsity, Agi instead acted in a way that was inimical to the reputation and growth of the institution.


This is more worrisome considering the fact that Agi is a product of UNICAL. Ordinarily, every alumnus/alumna of an institution should be concerned about the image and reputation of their former institution let alone staff. 


The opportunity Agi had but abused is what many people within and outside the country looks for to give to their alma matter. 


Even if there was internal wrangling  in the system which is normal, Agi would have put the reputation of the famous university first and above other things. 


The impression other people, institutions and partners hold about an organization is directly proportional to the way the organization present herself. Unfortunately, Agi presented UNICAL as a dishonourable institution may be for self recognition or unncessary ego and the damage has been enormous.


As a graduate of the institution, more was expected of him. In fact, he has the current Vice Chancellor, Prof. Zana Akpagu as a manual to learn from on how a graduate of an institution should act if given the opportunity to contribute to the development of his/her alma matter.


The rapid development witnessed under the Zana's administration is a clear indication of his passion and commitment to the golas and objectives of UNICAL. New programs are introduced every session. There's rapid infrastructural development going on and the general welfare of the students among other things have been given desired attention.


But for Agi, the story was never the same. What prompted him to give the university that makes him what he is today such heinous treatment is still unknown and only time shall tell.

INVESTIGATION: How UNICAL EX-Bursar, Peter Agi Bought 8 Exotic Cars Of Over 7m Each In 2yrs ...Built Houses Worth Millions of Naira

INVESTIGATION: How UNICAL EX-Bursar, Peter Agi Bought 8 Exotic Cars Of Over 7m Each In 2yrs ...Built Houses Worth Millions of Naira

By Inyali Peter

PETER AGI HOUSE
Investigation into the activities of University of Calabar, (UNICAL) former Bursar, Peter Agi has revealed that he allegedly bought eight (8) exotic cars in two years worth over 7 million each. 

Prior to his appointment, Agi according to findings had only two cars but within the space of two years when he assumed office as Bursar, he reportedly bought 8 cars with the least valued at seven million naira (N7,000 000).

This shocking details was contained in a petition written by the Dirctor, Institute of Public Policy and Administration, UNICAL, Edem Ebong on the 7th of September, 2016 and forwarded to the joint Senate/Council committee set up to investigate him (Agi).  


Agi has been regularly accussed of living an extravagant life that his salary  and allowances couldn't have afforded.

As a bursar, he was on a monthly salary of N452,000.00 with an annual pay of N5, 4,24000 (Five million, four hundred and twenty four thousand naira). 

His imprest initially was N100,000 but on the 15th of April 2016, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Zana Akpagu generously increased it by one hundred percent; that's from N100,000 to N200,000. This means that his annual imprest was N2.4 million (Two million, four hundred thousand).

However, imprest is not his personal due. It is an allowance for the running of the day to day activities of the bursary department. So, it won't be correct to say that his annual pay was N7,824000 (Seven million, eight hundred and twenty four thousand) when the imprest and his salary is added together. But even if it were, such wouldn't have afforded him the fleets of cars he acquired in two years with the least valued at seven million naira.

Apart from Agi's fleets of cars and his extravagant lifestyle, it is alleged that he acquired so many landed properties within and outside Cross River State. This include a bungalow in 8miles, Calabar worth millions of naira that Police investigation uncovers. The Police report said his salary couldn't have afforded him such 'mighty' bungalow. How he got the money to acquire all the cars and landed properties has left many in shock.

This is a disturbing situation especially considering the strong anti-corruption stance of the President Muhammadu Buhari's administration. Public office holders should be made to give accurate account of their stewardship. Therefore, the revelation about the neferous actvitivies of Agi calls for serious investigation.

Although, he already has hundreds of petitions and allegation of fraud leveled against him by the university and it's different units, making him face the wrath of the law if guilty would not only serve as deterrent to other public office holders and civil servants, but would be a credit to Buhari's anti-corruption war.

Already, the October 19th 2016 Police report has revealed some shocking financial misappropriation by Agi. As a typical Nigerian with corruption case, Agi, in desperation rushed to court to obtain an interlocutory injunction restraining the Police from further investigation.

But before the restraining order, the Police had investigated a petition sent by Comrade Godwin Nyiam, the Protocol officer of the university and has discovered that until his removal, Agi was the only signatory to the Single Treasury Account (TSA) of the university.

The Police also discovered that the E-payment platform of Central Bank of Nigeria, CNB of the institution was exclusively accessed by only the Bursar. This may sound absurd but this was how Agi operated the university account as though he was managing his personal business. The Vice Chancellor who is the Chief Executive/Accounting Officer of the University had no access to TSA or CBN E-payment platform.

Similarly, the Police uncovered an evidence of transfer of the sum of three million one hundred and eleven thousand, six hundred and ninety naira (N3,111,690.00) from the university account to a First Bank Account belonging to one Mrs. Isioma Peter Agi on the 7th of July 2016.

The beneficiary is alleged to be Agi's wife who is neither a staff nor a contractor of the university. How and why Agi transfered money from the university account to her account without due authorization from superior authority left many wondering. No wonder, Ebong stated conspicuously in his petition that "Our money under Agi is not save".

The Police also discovered the bungalow located in 8miles, Calabar which was made reference to earlier. The report said " The sum of four hundred and fifty two thousand Naira (N452, 000.00) being the monthly salary of the suspect cannot afford his ultramodern bungalow located at 8miles". 

If a  man who prior to his appointment as Bursar hadn't any known business or source(s) of income apart from his meager salary as a staff in bursary department of the university can amass such wealth within a short period of time, then there's more to his activities than meet the eyes.

In fact, he was barely four years as a staff of the university before he was made the bursar. His short sting with Leventis, a Private organization in Lagos before his employment in UNICAL didn't end well so he wouldn't have acquired such wealth before his appointment as Bursar.

Whether the high level of irregularities and alleged fraud that surrounded the bursary department under his watch is due to his inexperience is left to be seen. According to the university law, the office of bursar is exclusively for staff who have attained the position of deputy bursar. But Agi, in what can be best described as employment error/fraud became a bursar with little or no experience on how a university bursar is expected to work.

The allegation of fraud has always been on Agi's neck right from the manner he got his employment into the university. The university law stipulates that anybody employed as a graduate should be placed in level 07. But his case was fraudulently different. As at when he was employed he was placed in level 13. The parameter used in giving him such rapid promotion was seriously questioned at the time.

The cliché that without a solid foundation, no structure can stand has obviously been noticed in Agi's reign. He got into the university and climbed to the position of a bursar in a faulty foundation and today, the university is paying dearly for this. 

Today, Agi may just be the richest former bursar in the history of UNICAL. Perhaps, his fleets of cars and landed properties may be acquired through other means. But before such assumption can be taken seriously, he should first succinctly explain how he bought eight cars in two years with a net worth relatively lower than the least valued car. He should also explain how he built the multimillion naira bungalow.

Until then, he will remain an unavoidable candidate of the anti-corruption agencies.

REVEALED :ASUU Report That Nailed UNICAL Ex-Bursar, Agi

REVEALED :ASUU Report That Nailed UNICAL Ex-Bursar, Agi

By Inyali Peter, Calabar

Peter Agi
During the investigation of the former University of Calabar, (UNICAL) bursar, Peter Agi, there were retinue of petitions from almost all the over 200 units of the institution. But the want that broke the Carmel's back according to findings, was the weighty petition by the varsity branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

In an eleven page petition signed by its Chairman Dr. Tony Eyang and secretary, Dr. Jones Akung, on the 27th of September 2016, the association accused Agi of impunity, extreme disregard of the need for accountable behavior to individuals and established units and functionaries within the system.


In about nine allegations leveled against him, the union noted that the ex-bursar activities were essentially and most unacceptably vitiated the objectives of the Union's grim struggles for improved funding for the university. Agi was said to be working in ways that stifled the development of academic activities, discouraged academic initiative, frustrate otherwise very committed staff and endangered scholarship in the university.

The Union accused Agi of "Mindless and  Unconscionable Rudeness to Professors, Functionaries, Colleagues and Staff". ASUU noted that the profundity of Agi's sense of self-esteem was quite legendary and there was countless reports of rudeness, insults meted on top university staff and functionaries including Professors, a situation described as " unforgivable " by the Union.

His arrogance according to the document was overbearing. When he was not directly insulting staff according to ASUU, he was cutting down on well considered approval made the Vice chancellor. This implies that Agi, consistently arrogated to himself superior approval powers to that of the Chief Executive and Chief Accounting Officer of the university (The Vice Chancellor).

This unacceptable act was of course absolutely new and strange to the university. In fact, it was in utter violation of the powers of the Chief Accounting Officer of the university. After his reapproval, payments was not dictated by availability of funds but by the whims and caprices of the bursar. This situation was regarded as the highest level of insubordination, betrayal of trust and share wickedness.

Similarly, Agi came under serious scrutiny over what the Union described as "Deliberate Withholding and Often Discriminatory Release of Approved and Legitimate Entitlements of Staff and Units". This accusation is more of an abuse of office as the ex-bursar was into the habit of releasing legitimate staff entitlement only when it pleases without recourse to datelines. Some staff entitlements was upheld for over three years for no meaningful reason other than his mood and pleasure.

For instance, under Agi, honoraria due to staff who participated in PGDM, MBA 1 and MBA 11 (Second Semester, 2013/2014 session), PGDM, MBA1 and MBA11 (First Semester, 2014/2015 session), Current/Teaching (First Semester, 2014/2015), Public Admin (First Semester 2014/2015), Marketing (Second Semester, 2014/2015) and Sandwich, August 2015 contact etc was upheld till Agi met his Waterloo.

A university is a training institution for both staff and students. In fact, even Professors are expected to continue to update and upgrade to meet up with contemporary challenges. Workshops, conferences, and seminars cannot be separated from any serious university. But, under Agi, staff development was frustrated as he deliberately denied them access to approved funds to engage in further studies or attend development programs.

University exist primarily for the purpose of academic thus, it is expected that anybody found in the academic environment should contribute meaningfully to the development of academics. 

But regrettably, Agi's actions shows clearly that he knew little or nothing about the basic requirements for strengthening of academic programs and the improvement of quality of teaching staff. If this was not the case then it means that he was out to sabotage to the development of the institution.

His gross disregard for approvals duly granted to staff to engage in further studies as well as attend conferences, workshops and seminars was not only weakening the system but was depriving the university the opportunity to participate in programs where scholars gathers to share ideas.

In fact, the highest victims of this anti-academics practice were staff under TETFUND scholarship. Many of them were so frustrated that they abandoned their studies. Even those studying abroad, abandoned their studies all owing to the outright refusal of Agi to release their legitimate fees and other allowances.

Agi, amongst others allegations was also accused of "Refusal to Release Approved Funds for The Development of Academic Programs". Even word's renowned universities like Oxford, Toronto, California etc needs to constantly expand their programs to continue to maintain the revered status of leading universities in the world. In Nigeria, no university can smoothly function without proper approval of its programs by the National University Commission, NUC. Even approved programs must be constantly strengthened so as not to loose their accreditation which is periodically reviewed.

Painfully, Agi's penchant for and strange pleasure at refusing to release funds duly approved to enhance already accredited programs, even when such funds are available, are essentially subversive of the university's pursuit of excellence. Not only does the situation conduce to the accumulation of rot in academic programs, it also makes preparation for reaccreditation avoidably expensive. 

Some Heads of Department, especially those with partial accreditation in many occasions had to go borrowing to address the basic needs for accreditation. May be, Agi was ignorance of the rate of implication of a loss of accreditation for the university, staff, students and their parents and the entire university community. He attempted many times to push the university to th embarrassing situation but thank God for the proactive nature of the Heads of Department.

The removal of Agi was indeed a blessing as all the allegations leveled against him by ASUU (Some will be discussed in subsequent edition) were found to be true by the joint Senate/Council committee set up to investigate him. 

Again contrary to insinuations that the incumbent Vice Chancellor, Prof. Zana Akpagu was the masterminded of his removal, the Union revealed that ASUU was the first body in the university that raised the alarm over Agi's overbearing attitude. This was captured in the concluding part of the report against Agi.

According to ASUU, "It is regrettable that the university was indeed tardy in dealing with the matter. Had it firmly addressed the issues when our union raised them earlier in its protests to both the university Administration and the Governing Council, the university might have been saved the extended agony it has now experienced in the hands of that official".

The ASUU report, according findings was more indicting and incriminating therefore the allegation of witch-hunting against the VC does not hold water. The reports by the investigation panel clearly showed that the decision of the governing council to relief Agi of his position was informed by his high level of anti-academics activities, arrogance and alleged fraud.

His gross disregard for approvals duly granted to staff to engage in further studies as well as attend conferences, workshops and seminars was not only weakening the system but was depriving the university the opportunity to participate in programs where scholars gathers to share ideas.

In fact, the highest victims of this anti-academics practice were staff under TETFUND scholarship. Many of them were so frustrated that they abandoned their studies. Even those studying abroad, abandoned their studies all owing to the outright refusal of Agi to release their legitimate fees and other allowances.

Agi, amongst others allegations was also accused of "Refusal to Release Approved Funds for The Development of Academic Programs". Even word's renowned universities like Oxford, Toronto, California etc needs to constantly expand their programs to continue to maintain the revered status of leading universities in the world. In Nigeria, no university can smoothly function without proper approval of its programs by the National University Commission, NUC. Even approved programs must be constantly strengthened so as not to loose their accreditation which is periodically reviewed.

Painfully, Agi's penchant for and strange pleasure at refusing to release funds duly approved to enhance already accredited programs, even when such funds are available, are essentially subversive of the university's pursuit of excellence. Not only does the situation conduce to the accumulation of rot in academic programs, it also makes preparation for reaccreditation avoidably expensive. 

Some Heads of Department, especially those with partial accreditation in many occasions had to go borrowing to address the basic needs for accreditation. May be, Agi was ignorance of the rate of implication of a loss of accreditation for the university, staff, students and their parents and the entire university community. He attempted many times to push the university to th embarrassing situation but thank God for the proactive nature of the Heads of Department.

The removal of Agi was indeed a blessing as all the allegations leveled against him by ASUU (Some will be discussed in subsequent edition) were found to be true by the joint Senate/Council committee set up to investigate him. 

Again contrary to insinuations that the incumbent Vice Chancellor, Prof. Zana Akpagu was the masterminded of his removal, the Union revealed that ASUU was the first body in the university that raised the alarm over Agi's overbearing attitude. This was captured in the concluding part of the report against Agi.

According to ASUU, "It is regrettable that the university was indeed tardy in dealing with the matter. Had it firmly addressed the issues when our union raised them earlier in its protests to both the university Administration and the Governing Council, the university might have been saved the extended agony it has now experienced in the hands of that official".

The ASUU report, according findings was more indicting and incriminating therefore the allegation of witch-hunting against the VC does not hold water. The reports by the investigation panel clearly showed that the decision of the governing council to relief Agi of his position was informed by his high level of anti-academics activities, arrogance and alleged fraud.

Peter Agi: How Not To Be A Varsity Bursar

Peter Agi: How Not To Be A Varsity Bursar

By Inyali Peter

Bursary department is a critical component of a university that requires a disciplined, transparent, accountable and financially creative individual to mange. It is to the university what advertisement is to the media house; life wire. This is because no institution, not just university functions without well organized bursary.

The head of the department referred to as a bursar is a principal officer and a high ranking management staff. Bursar has a core responsibility to manage money of a school, college, or university to the interest of the institution.

The overall operations of student financial services, billing and receivables, and cashiering functions of the university/college according to salary.com are also duties of a bursar.


It is worthy to note that while performing these duties, the bursar must ensures total compliance with university, state, and federal regulations and standard accounting procedures. 

Despite the seemly huge authority over the management of a varsity finances, he/she is by law expected to work under strict supervision as it is mandated that he/she "must" submit cum reports to the head of the institution (The Vice Chancellor in the case of university).

Basically, the explanations above are the core responsibilities of a varsity bursar. Anybody who however act contrary to them become a good case study to aspiring bursars on how not to be one.

Perhaps, there is nothing on earth that's completely bad or absolutely good. When something or somebody is bad or performed poorly in a given responsibility, rather than condemn the thing or person completely, such can become a reference point to guide people against being or performing like them.

More so, in contemporary times, when issues on how a university bursar is not expected to act comes up for discussion, Peter Agi, the former University of Calabar bursar readily comes to mind. In fact, he is manual on how not to be a bursar.

This is so because his activities throughout his reign as the head of the bursary department left little to be admired of him as he acted very contrary to the core responsibilities of a bursar as succinctly explained in the paragraphs above. (Refer to paragraph 1-5).

As stated earlier, the responsibility of a bursar to manage the university finances is not to be done in such a way that it favours only the bursar at the detriment of the institution. A bursar is not expected to put his interest ahead of that of the varsity for any reason.

But regrettably, Agi throughout his reign failed to observe the golden principle of being submissive to superior authority or properly reporting to the head of the institution as stated clearly in his letter of appointment or projecting the university interest ahead of his personal interest.  He abused his office as he unculturally and illegally performed some functions that are statutorily beyond his powers.

For instance, Agi on the 23rd of August 2016 unilaterally delisted the names of 152 staff of the university from the payroll without satisfactory explanation. The net pay of this people was about 24,688,319.50 (Twenty four million, six hundred and eighty eight thousand, three hundred and ninetheen naira, fifty kobo).

While it is truism that a few of these people were either on retirement, dismissal or dead but majority of them were delisted in a fruadulent manner. In fact, it was done in an approach that can be best described as share wickedness on the side of the former bursar. 

Agi did not only leave some department shot of man power but rendered many homes hopeless, homeless and foodless. Their only source of livelihood was taken away because of the recklessness and arrogance of a single man. What a level of heartlessness!

While investigation is yet to reveal the reason behind his action, it was widely insinuated that the ex-bursar removed the people because they were employed by the Vice Chancellor and secretly replaced them with his preferred candidates. 

In a university setting, the powers to hire and fire rest on the shoulders of the Vice Chancellor and the governing council. Even Agi's appointment letter as bursar was signed by the Vice chancellor. So how Agi arrogated the powers to fire and hire to himself has left many pondering. 

It is not yet clear what happened to the salaries of some of the people he was yet to replace before he was sacked.

Besides this, Agi took his desperation and overbearing attitude to the forum of bursars in Nigeria. In different fora, Agi publicly tried to incite other bursars to also demonstrate rebellious attitude towards their Vice Chancellors. 

He attempted many times to deceive them that they were the chief accounting officers of their universities as such had the absolute powers to manipulate the system anyhow. Perhaps, this explains why many Vice chancellors are today very excited with the decision of the governing council to kick him out.

Whether Agi was qualified in the first place for the job is a discussion for another day. But Salary.com specifies clearly that to be qualified for a job of a varsity or college bursar, you must at least have garnered five years bursary experience. 

Did Agi gathered up to five years experience in bursary before his appointment? Did he act out of ignorance? Were his actions deliberate? Was he acting under any external influence? These and many more have been the puzzles of concerned stakeholders and Nigerians.

Some people may wonder whether delisting of staff from pay roll wihtout recourse to constitued authority is worth being cited as anti-bursary attribute. It is because there is no offence as serious as denying people opportunity to get what legitimately belongs to them all in a bid to fight perceived enemy or to enrich yourself. This is not an offence against the VC alone but an affront on the university community and betrayal of the affected families.

His regime was characterized with high level of financial recklessness that the university is still struggling today to recover. The 40% reduction in the February salary of staff is as a result of his inability to consult higher authority or experienced people before advancing. He reportedly forwarded a false record that misrepresented the staff capacity of the university and now the workers are suffering heavily for his ineptitude.

There are other major flaws of Agi like allegedly operating a secret school fees portal where he made up to N200 million he has not accounted for, conniving with the chairman of UNICAL secondary school to transfer over N27 million to unknown account and many others. 

But generally, Agi was an icing on the ake of bad finance manager. He is a perfect example of how a bursar should not be.

Exposed: The UNTOLD, Real Reasons Why UNICAL Bursar, Peter Agi Was SACKED

Exposed: The UNTOLD, Real Reasons Why UNICAL Bursar, Peter Agi Was SACKED

Peter Agi
The dismissal of former University of Calabar Bursar, Peter Agi and its attendant brouhaha is no longer an issue of exclusive discourse as it has become an item in every gathering; it is also no longer news that the dismissal has been touted in various quarters that the bursar was just a product of witch hunt.

Many who have listened to the litany of reasons advanced by Agi are unfortunately aware of the real circumstances that led to his sack nor are they aware that the decision to relive the former bursar of his appointment had followed all laid down disciplinary procedure prescribed by law.

that Scattered My Relationship For 2years.. Click HERE for Details

However investigations have revealed that on Monday 22nd August, 2016 Mr. Agi at the bidding of the university management was suspended by the Vice Chancellor. Nonetheless this decision was not until management reviewed petitions from various organs of the institution against him. These reports were alleged cases of insubordination, delinquency and extremism displayed against staff, management including the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Zana Akpagu.

The untold truth of the matter was that even after the said August suspension, another committee constituted by the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council, Emmanuel Anyawu in order to ensure all characters involved had fair hearing as stipulated by Section15(1c); unfortunately, contrary to accounts of lack of fair trial, Agi flagrantly turned down the opportunity and instead turned in a bogus letter from his lawyer bragging of his invincibility and threatening the authorities.
Documents at our disposal show that the panel on receipt of the mock letter reviewed the Vice Chancellor's report as well as conducted interviews of all parties concerned including an intensive review of retinue of memoranda of complaints from staff, Unions and university committee upon which the decision was arrived at.

According to the panel’s report the former university bursar’s sack was justifiable owing to a large number transgression ranging from financial to moral contraventions amongst which:
As bursar, Mr. Peter Agi barefacedly issued the irregular transfer of funds without the knowledge, authorization or approval of the Vice Chancellor and in the same distrustful manner, delisted the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Zana Akpagu, from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) e-payment platform.
He had unilaterally switched to unauthorized software platform (Zellence) for collection of school charges which ran into an excess of over N200, 000,000 (Two Hundred Million Naira) was collected and has remained unaccounted.

Mr. Agi was found to have shortchanged the institution, via the purchase of a different brand of vehicle (Toyota Highlander) instead of duly approved Sienna, at a cost higher than what the Vice Chancellor has approved.

Documents provided also proved that the former bursar had also refused to release Interim Payment Certificate (IPCs) and other payment to TETFUND and NEEDS Assessment Contractors even when funds were available setting back the process of accreditation for several departments in the university.

Unauthorized transfer of funds to undisclosed accounts without approval of the Vice Chancellor
Apart from the financial derelictions the panel’s report also showed that Mr. Peter Agi had been found guilty of flagrant disrespect of constituted authority and irresponsible conduct less befitting of a university bursar including:

Illegal mobilization and bringing of non-staff including thugs and cultists into the University to foment trouble and subsequent refusal to respond to query issued in the wake of the disturbance of the academic activities of the university of Calabar by some hoodlums suspiciously sponsored by Mr Agi on the 15th August, 2016.

The panel’s investigations also found Agi wanting of absence from duty without authorization, even as he demanded members of the University to transact university's business with him through phone call.

Subversion of University and civil service hierarchy by his autonomous granting of Press interviews without approval by appropriate structures of the university

Various interviews with staff as well as petitions available also accused him of intemperate use of insulting and disrespectful language on staff in both oral and written communication.

This inadvertently proves that against propaganda and general rumour whipped by Peter Agi and his co-travellers, fair play and strict adherence was followed to the latter to ensure that all parties involved had equal access to justice.

Group warns UNICAL Ex-Bursar to stop blackmailing constituted authority

Group warns UNICAL Ex-Bursar to stop blackmailing constituted authority

Peter Agi
Peter Agi
A Civil society group, the Centre for Social Justice, Equity and Transparency (CESJET)has warned those it said are attempting to destroy the peace at the University of Calabar to desist from doing so or risk being exposed.

The group accused the ex-bursar of the institution, Mr Peter Agi of being behind various attempts to blackmail the University's constituted authority after he was fired for alleged corruption.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja, CESJET Executive Director, Joyce Adamu said the ex-bursar should hide his face in shame after being disgraced for his numerous underhand dealings that took the righteous posture of the current Vice Chancellor and the Governing Council to expose.


She said there have recently been reports that some persons are mobilizing hoodlums for the purpose of posing as protesting students of the UNICAL to cause mayhem.

According to her, these fake protesters will then proceed to cause maximum damage to infrastructure at the university while also attacking the genuine students if they should dare question the destruction of their institution.

She said the plot may not be unconnected with the embattled former bursar of the university, Mr. Peter Agi, who has remained bitter after being relieved of his post over corruption related charges.

She said, "He is a confused man who has soiled his hands with public funds and afraid of approaching equity since his hands are clean. 

He should face the Police in Calabar to explain his complicity in the criminal allegations leveled against him before a competent court.

"His recent attempt to blackmail the leadership of University to us is an attempt to divert attention from his unholy acts which set both students and members of the institution on a collision course with Mr. Agi's ego and penchant for mischief which is known everywhere in the University.
