“Professor Jega resumed today; but he first went to the VC’s office. The VC accompanied him to his office and he was received by the Head of Department of Political Science with his colleagues,” Shehu said.

The BUK authorities renovated Jega’s office ahead of his return. He is the 5th former vice chancellors of the university who are still within the institution’s academic community.
