Koffi N’Guessan has been appointed vice-chancellor for the National Polytechnic Institute Félix Houphouët-Boigny (INP-HB), replacing Ado Gossan who has been in hiding since April for fear of arrest.
Gossan, a well-known supporter of ousted president Laurent Gbagbo, was sacked in absentia by the ministry of higher education and scientific research in October following allegations of mismanagement.
