The allegation of financial misappropriation levelled against the bursar of the Osun State College of Education, Ila-Orangun, Mr Rasheed Olarewaju Oyedeji by the state Auditor General, Mr Folorunsho Adesina on Thursday laid to rest when the state House Of Assembly exonerated and cleared his name from the mess.
The Governing Council had earlier exonerated the bursar of the allegation through a memo referenced GP/OSCE/6/Vol 111/16 dated 5th April 2022 after the accountant general requested the Governing Council of the institution to probe the matter.
The governing council in its finding after engaged the services of forensic auditors insisted that the Bursar does not have any skeleton in his cupboard concerning the allegation.
In its submission, the Governing Council appealed to the office of the Auditor General to ‘be careful at blowing unnecessary information until it might have explored issues to the lasting stage as the office of the Auditor General needs total overhauling to avoid giving the state government any unnecessary embarrassment.”
Also, the Auditor General should be aware that he is a civil servant and should not arrogate powers to himself and his office to the detriment of the state.
However, Osun State House of Assembly on Thursday, 28th July 2022 at its plenary session, also exonerated the bursar of the Alleged financial misappropriation.
In the report presented by the chairman, House Committee on Public Accounts, Hon Abidemi Gbenga Ogunkanmi and signed by other members of the committee, the House recommended that “the office of the Auditor General for the state should remain professional in the discharge of its duties in the college and all auditing activities should be devoid of personal or primordial sentiments.”
The State House of Assembly resolved that the office of the Auditor General for the state should work on other institutions in the state and report back to the House Committee on Public Accounts.
