The Governing Council of Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has sacked Mr. Olatunbosun Odusanya as the Registrar of the institution. This is coming few days after he was suspended from office over allegation of misconduct.
Dr. Mohammed Yahuza, Chairman of the Governing Council stated that the decision to terminate Odusanya’s appointment as the Registrar of FUOYE was taken on Tuesday, April 27, 2021.
Foluso Ogunmodede and Wole Balogun, the Chief Information Officer and the Special Adviser on Media Matters to the Vice-Chancellor, respectively in a statement both signed by disclosed that Odusanya’s appointment was terminated during the Council’s meeting.
Prof. Abayomi Sunday Fasina, the Vice-Chancellor, FUOYE, however, has allayed the fear being entertained in the university community that following the exit of the Registrar, the university would come after those he had allegedly recruited in what has now been confirmed as irregular exercise.
Fasina explicitly stated that those entertaining such fear or being furnished with such rumour should perish the thought as his administration was not going to witch-hunt any member of staff.
Recall that Odusanya was suspended from office on April 20, 2021, to pave the way for proper investigation into allegations of irregular appointment during the recruitment exercise of the university between August 1, 2020 and February 10, 2021.
Meanwhile, following that incident, there have been insinuations from several quarters within and outside the university that the Fasina-led management has allegedly embarked on a witch-hunt with a view to sacking members of staff who fell allegedly under irregular appointment by Odusanya contrary to the University’s regulations.
Ogunmodede and Balogun in the statement they co-signed stated that the Vice Chancellor was not going to go after any members of staff as his mission was never to sack any member of staff but to improve on the well-being and welfare of staff.
“For me as the VC, my emergence was God’s divine mandate and project. So, l will not work against anyone. I have no plan to sack any staff member of our great Ivory Tower. “However, in line with the Council’s directive, we will review all the said appointments with a view to regularising all appointments that measure up to our standards, most notably departmental needs, qualifications, proper placement and due process.
“My passion has always been to make life very conducive and comfortable for anyone around me and this is what I have always dedicated my life to. God has really helped me and fought for me. I have nothing to do than to love people around me and spread happiness to all.
“I assure you, no one will be a victim of the suspension of the Registrar by the Governing Council of our great Citadel of Learning. “Rather, staff member shall continue to enjoy the best in terms of incentives to work, proper training to hone their skills and amazing welfare packages that will continue to gladden their hearts”, the statement reads.
Mr. Mufutau Ibrahim, meanwhile, has been approved as the university’s Acting Registrar by the Governing Council, while the council also rectified the sack of Odusanya.
