OAU VC, Prof Eyitope Ogunbodede
The Obafemi Awolowo University branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has commended the university administration for the steps it has taken on the sex scandal involving a member of the academic staff.
A phone conversation was widely circulated on the internet in which a professor of the university, Richard Akindele, demanded for rounds of sex from a student (later identified as Ms Monica Osetobe Osagie) in exchange for a pass grade.
The vice-chancellor of the institution, Professor Eyitope Ogunbodede, acting on the interim report of a committee set up to investigate the scandal, announced Professor Akindele on Thursday.
Reacting to the development, ASUU, in a statement signed by its chairman, Dr Adeola Egbedokun, said it was pleased with the prompt action taken by the administration on the recommendation of the investigative panel.
“ASUU OAU reiterates its commitment to defending the integrity of the code of conduct of the university, and to upholding its ethical standards,” it said in the statement.
It further urged the vice chancellor and his team not to relent in their efforts to get to the root of the matter and ensure that justice is not only done but seen to have been done in the matter.
The union also admonished its members to always adhere strictly to the code of conduct guiding their appointment in the university as they carry out their lawful activities
