The University Council chairperson, Gabriel Opio, said Luboobi would be in charge of the deputy vice-chancellor’s office until Epelu’s successor is appointed in a month.
Opio said the council would meet on July 14 to agree on the procedure of appointment.
“It will be a shorter exercise than that of the vice-chancellor. After the meeting, we shall advertise the post,†Opio said.
