UNIOSUN Governing Council Sacks VC, Registrar And Bursar

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.’’
