The Federal Government has suspended Vice Chancellors of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) and Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) over alleged N956 million fraud.
FUNAAB vice chancellor, Prof. Olusola Oyewole, is currently facing a criminal charge in court.



The May 5, 2017 suspension letters was signed by the acting Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Hussaini Adamu, on behalf of the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu.


The letter directed Oyewole to hand over the affairs of the institution to the most senior staff.
The EFCC charged Oyewole, alongside former Pro Chancellor of the school, Adeseye Ogunewe, the Bursar, Moses Ilesanmi to court for alleged abuse of office and misappropriation of funds.


They were investigated after whistleblowers tipped off the anti-graft agency and accused the trio of suspicious dealings totalling N800 million.
The case is before Justice O. Majekodunmi of the state High Court.
In November 2016, EFCC arraigned Oyewole, Ogunlewe and Ilesanmi on an 18-count charge of financial misappropriation.


Members of Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) in the institution had earlier shut down the school in protest, and called on the federal government to probe activities of the institution under Oyewole’s leadership.


They, however, pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

Soon name checkers will flood here. On a serious note one would expect a professor wont be involved in corruption with all the knowledge but Nigeria case is always a difference. How many students he punished in his profession for cheating in exams not knowing himself na ogbologbo , people like him make Hausa people sometimes look like a saint, shame on him, lock him up for good if possible.

we know how these kinds of story goes..

A slap on the wrist and a "don't do it again under any party that is not APC"

They cook up a story like " lack of substancial evidence" and let them go...

On the flip side kabiru.. A man who steals a goat.... Is doing 30 years in prison...

So you mean to tell me.... Thief get class?

These Vice chancellors of Nigerian schools are part of the problem of our abysmal educational standards in the country,
Yet they will be blaming government for underfunding .

na dem

Corruption is bae in this country ....... Walai

Lack of contentment


Even with the millions they earn, they still chose to misappropriate funds meant for the staff


I just weak

N956 million fraud

Incredible. Simply incredible. Such greed. This is money that is meant for staff and to also develop the standard of the university and we wonder why the quality of education is spiralling downwards.

They were investigated after whistleblowers tipped off the anti-graft agency and accused the trio of suspicious dealings totalling N800 million.

Well done to the whistle blowers, we need more of these EVERYWHERE. And kudos to EFCC, they actually followed this through.

Lol even Elizade's VC was arrested for alleged embezzlement of millions of dollars. May God deliver us in this nation.

How do we grow as a country when some old men are playing ping pong with the destinies of the young. Plundering and looting the financial purse of their institutions- we have no moral compass in this country.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Titles, Certificates, academic can not safe this Continent from darkness rather EDUCATION will!!! ......Education demands that u practice what u learn to better your environment.

The day I knew these professors are thieves,was the day I was searching through my dad's books. I saw one book titled 'Money Laundering by Professor Osunbor' the formal governor of Edo state. This same man was removed from office because of electoral malpractices and embezzlement of funds.

On your way to the top.

Please do try your best to respect and honour those who are above you.
"because they have the power to pull you up or keep you down".

Be very careful with those coming behind you, who are aiming for your position, fear them and never underestimate them.
"because they can do anything to get to where you are, even if it means getting rid of you".

Lastly, be very compassionate with those below you, who may never get close to where you are because of their status, love them, help them no matter how little and never underrate them.
"because, should you retire or fall, they will be the one to catch you, carry you and help propagate your name in the process of your redemption ".
