Bassey, Unicross VC.

As the Cross River State Government works at strengthening the academic leadership of the University of Cross River State, Unicross, state governor and Visitor to the university,  Bassey Edet Otu, has approved the appointment of  Francisca Bassey, a Professor, as the substantive Vice Chancellor of the institution.

Appointment letter

The appointment, which takes immediate effect, follows the recommendation of the university’s Governing Council.

Bassey, a renowned scholar, researcher, and administrator, is the first woman to occupy the office since the institution was transformed into a full-fledged university.

A statement signed by the Secretary to the State Cross River State Government, Anthony Owan Enoh, indicates that the governor’s approval underscores his administration’s unflinching commitment to meritocracy, inclusivity, and the empowerment of capable Cross Riverians in strategic roles. “Her appointment reflects the Governor’s belief that leadership in higher education must be driven by competence, integrity and vision,” the statement noted.

Otu congratulated Bassey on her elevation and urged her to offer bold, transformative leadership that would not only consolidate existing gains but reposition Unicross as a dynamic hub of academic excellence, research, and innovation. “You are stepping into a role that demands courage, creativity, and character,” the governor said in a message conveyed to the new Vice Chancellor. “The future of our university system must be anchored on global standards, and I have every confidence that you will lead with distinction.”

An alumnus of the University of Calabar with more than three decades of teaching, research, and academic administration, Bassey has served in various capacities including Head of Department, Dean, and Deputy Vice Chancellor. Her academic contributions span numerous peer-reviewed publications and policy engagements, especially in the field of social sciences.

Her appointment comes at a critical moment for UNICROSS, as the university expands its academic programmes, pursues infrastructural growth, and deepens its industry partnerships.
