The Vice Chancellor of the Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Professor Bashir Okesina, has been sacked by the institution’s Governing Council.
Okesina’s appointment and that of two other principal officers of the University was terminated over allegation of financial mismanagement in the institution.
The state Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, who is a visitor to the University, had set up a visitation panel who looked into the allegation, and then recommended the sack of the officers after their probe.
Their termination is with immediate effect.
It was gathered that the termination of their appointments has been recommended to Governor Aregbesola and pends his approval.
However, UNIOSUN branch of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as described the action of the Council as too hasty.
ASUU Chairman in the chapter, Dr. Abiona Oluseye and eight others said in a statement that the sack is not fair.

“It is instructive to state that a visitation panel was constituted by the Governor of the State of Osun and the report submitted. ASUU-Uniosun is of the opinion that it would have been better for the council to wait for the white paper on the report to be released by the Governor before assuming the position of a judge in their own case.
“Against the backdrop of the on-going, ASUU-UNIOSUN hereby calls for the immediate reversal of the decision pending the outcome of the white paper on the matter,’’ the statement said.
