OAU lecturers, ASUU chair in row over choice of VC

SOME members of the ObafemiAwolowo University’s chapter of the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) yesterday accused their chairman, Dr. Celeb Aborisade, of misrepresenting the union on the appointment of Prof. Ayobami Taofeek Salami as vice chancellor.

Speaking with reporters in Osogbo, the state capital, Prof. Adegbola Peter Akinola of OAU Mathematics Department said it was not correct that the ASUU supported the new vice chancellor’s appointment.

Akinola, who was accompanied by other three ASUU members, faulted Aborisade’s comment, describing it as inaccurate.

He maintained that the process that produced the vice chancellor was “not free, fair and transparent”.

According to him, the process was fraught with “at least two fundamental irregularities, which made it utterly unfair and decidedly skewed against all the contestants, except one person”.

Akinola accused the OAU ASUU chairman of issuing a statement on the VC’s appointment that was not authorised by the congress.

He described the statement as false and self-seeking.
