The Governing Council of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has allegedly sacked the registrar of the university, Mr Olatunbosun Odusanya, less than a week after he was suspended for gross misconduct.
The management had last week Tuesday announced the suspension of the registrar to allow for investigations into series of allegations ranging from irregular appointments into the institution between August 20, 2020, and February 2021.
In a statement signed by the Chief Information Officer, in the VC’s office, Mr Folusho Ogunmodede and the Special Adviser to the VC Media, Wole Balogun, the university took the decision after the Governing Council meeting on Tuesday.
“His sack, however, was approved by the University Governing Council on Tuesday after critically looking at a report by the Council Disciplinary Committee set up to review the report of the Investigative Committee which reviewed all appointments during the said period,” the statement read.
The council subsequently approved Mr Mufutau Ibrahim as the institution’s acting registrar.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Abayomi Fasina, called on staff of the university not to panic over the development, saying that his administration would not witch-hunt workers in the institution.

Fasina, who assumed duty as the fourth substantive VC of FUOYE two months ago, said , “For me as the VC, my emergence was God’s divine mandate and project. So, l will not work against anyone. I have no plan to sack any staff member of our great Ivory Tower.
“However, in line with the Council’s directive, we will review all the said appointments with a view to regularising all appointments that measure up to our standards, most notably departmental needs, qualifications, proper placement and due process.
” My passion has always been to make life very conducive and comfortable for people and this is what I have always dedicated my life to. God has really helped me and fought for me. I have nothing to do other than to love people around me and spread happiness to all.
“I assure you, no one will be a victim of the suspension of the Registrar by the Governing Council of our great citadel of learning. “Rather, the staff member shall continue to enjoy the best in terms of incentives to work, proper training to hone their skills and amazing welfare packages that will continue to gladden their hearts.”
