The sacked Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe says he is still in charge of the institution, describing his removal from office as false.
Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe has described his removal from office as false.
He said he remains vice-chancellor of the institution.
The University’s Governing Council had in a statement from the Registrar of the council, announced his removal from office.
But Ogundipe said the removal was a figment of the Registrar’s imagination.
The statement titled: “Notice to the General Public on the Removal of the Vice-Chancellor, the University of Lagos by Oladejo Azeez, Esq” reads:
“The attention of the University of Lagos (Unilag) management has been drawn to the ‘Notice to the General Public on the Removal of the Vice-Chancellor, University of Lagos’; dated August 12, 2020 and signed by Oladejo Azeez, Esq, Registrar and Secretary to Council, stating that the current Vice-Chancellor, Professor Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, FAS has been removed from office with immediate effect.
“This is untrue and a figment of his imagination. Therefore, stakeholders of UNILAG and the general public are advised to disregard this mischievous disinformation about the sitting Vice-Chancellor of Unilag, contained in that notice. Professor Ogundipe still remains UNILAG’s Vice-Chancellor.”
