Disputes Emerge In OAU Over The Appointment Of The New Vc

Aborisade, allegedly declaring the
support of ASUU for the process
leading to the announcement of a
new vice chancellor for the university.

The pronouncement by Dr Caleb
Aborisade, allegedly stating that the selection process for the new vice chancellor for the university was free, fair, and credible drew the anger of some members of the union.

They gathered under the umbrella of
‘Concerned ASUU Members’ stating
that the chairman of the union did
not state the position of ASUU in the
university.
However, the chairman of ASUU of the university, Dr. Aborisade, when
contacted declined to speak on
camera stating that the union could
not have taken a stand on the legality or otherwise of the process as none of the aggrieved candidates has
approached it with their grievances.
Meanwhile, members of the Senior
Staff Association of Nigerian
Universities (SSANU) and the Non-
Academic Staff Union (NASU) have
continued their protests against the
selection process and the consequentannouncement of Professor Ayobami
Salami as the new Vice Chancellor of
the institution.

They called on the Federal
Government to set up a panel of
inquiry to look into allegation of fund mismanagement by the outgoing vice chancellor of the institution, Professor Bamitale Omole.

The tenure of the incumbent Vice
Chancellor of the institution, ends on June 23.
