Nigerian author dismissed from University of Oxford

Nigerian author Onyeka Nwelue has had his Academic Visitor status at the University of Oxford terminated, a Cherwell investigation revealed.

The investigation revealed he was dismissed for misusing university logos and premises for commercial purposes. Mr Nwelue is also facing complaints of misogyny towards students and the spread of racist, classist, and sexist content online, the independent student newspaper revealed.

The filmmaker and author held an Academic Visitor status at Oxford’s African Studies Centre from 2021 until his dismissal in early February this year.
