UNIOSUN Governing Council Sacks VC, Registrar And Bursar

According to new reaching us today,The Governing Council of Osun State University, UNIOSUN, has terminated the appointments of three principal officers of the state institution with immediate effect..

These are the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Bashir Okesina, The Registrar, Dr. Julius Faniran and Bursar Alhaji Fatai Lasisi.

The termination of their appointments
followed the recommendations of a
visitation panel set up by the Visitor to the
university, Governor Rauf Aregbesola to
look into allegations of financial
mismanagement in the institution.

The ASUU Chapter of the institution has
however condemned the action.
According to a statement by the Chairman,
Dr. Abiona Oluseye and eight others, the
sack violated the principle of equity and
fairness.

The statement reads: “It is instructive to
state that a visitation panel was constituted
by the Governor of the State of Osun and
the report submitted.

ASUU-Uniosun is of the opinion that it
would have been better for the council to
wait for the white paper on the report to be
released by the Governor before assuming
the position of a judge in their own case.’’
“Against the backdrop of the on-going,
ASUU-UNIOSUN hereby calls for the
immediate reversal of the decision pending
the outcome of the white paper on the
matter.’’
