The appointment of Prof. Bashiru Okesina has been terminated by the Osun State Governor.
The appointment of Prof. Bashiru Okesina as Vice
CHancellor of Osun State University has been terminated by the Osun
State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola.
This was contained in an excerpt of the White Paper
released on the crisis rocking the university. The excerpt was made
available to our correspondent on Thursday by the media aide to the
Governor, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon.
Aregbesola also accepted the recommendation for the
dissolution of the Governing Council headed by Prof. Gabriel Olawoyin
(SAN) but the council will still be in place until the process of the
appointment of a new vice chancellor of the institution is completed.
The termination of appointment of the Deputy Vice
Chancellor, Prof. Siyan Oyeweso, was also contained in the document. He
was sacked for playing negative roles in the crisis.
He also lashed out at the Chairman of Academic Staff
Union of Universities at UNIOSUN, Dr. Oluseye Abiona for using the union
for selfish purposes. Abiona was also relieved of his appointment as
Coordinator of the Centre for Renewable Energy in the university.
The document read in part, “The Prof. A. B.
Okesina-led Management should be terminated by relieving the
Vice-Chancellor (Prof. A. B. Okesina), Registrar (Dr. J. O. Faniran) and
Bursar (Mr. F. A. Lasisi) of their positions in Osun State University
immediately.
The appointment of Prof. Siyan Oyeweso should be
terminated for: his negative roles in the crisis, his ambition-driven
over-influence on the Vice-Chancellor which contributed immensely to the
Vice-Chancellor’s irredeemable mistakes in the administration of the
University.
Prof. Wasiu Alamu Gbolagade should not be allowed
to hold any position of responsibility in Osun State University for:
his roles in the crisis, attending the two clandestine meetings against
the Governing Council held in the Vice-chancellor’s house with other
Principal Officers of the University.
Prof. B. R. Olorede should be disallowed from
holding positions of responsibility in Osun State University for the
next five (5) years.
The Bursar, ( Lasisi) Prof. Kizito Folorunso,
Prof. Wasiu Alamu Gbolagade and any other person yet to refund the money
paid to them as IGR proceeds should be made to make the refunds with
immediate effect.”
The governor was silent on the panel recommendation
that the six campuses of the university be reduced to three. The panel
stated that the multi-campus nature of the university was having
negative impact on the University as a whole.
