<p>Prof. Camara condemned the ongoing smear campaign against her candidacy, which has been orchestrated by some individuals questioning her age and gender.</p>
<p>He described these attacks as anti-modern and counterproductive to the advancement of education in Nigeria</p>
<p>“Detractors claim she is too young and suggest that a woman cannot hold such a prestigious office. This argument is not only intellectually dishonest but also steeped in hypocrisy,” Prof. Camara added.</p>
<p>While the Voice of African Universities condemned the unfounded attacks on her candidacy, the association called for a fair and transparent selection process that upholds the values of excellence and meritocracy.</p>
<p>The association restated its stance to support the candidacy of Professor Aisha Sani Maikudi for the substantive position of Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja.</p>
<p>Prof. Camara added that even though the power to appoint a VC rests with the Governing Council of the university, the Nigerian Ministry of Education and other stakeholders should ensure that fairness and due process are followed in the selection process.</p>
