Students are protesting. Management is weak and compromised. When will Nigeria ever get it right ?

INVESTIGATION: Many crises tearing apart Federal University Oye-Ekiti (2)
IN the first part of this report, Yekeen AKINWALE who has been following the crises at Federal University Oye-Ekiti, in Ekiti State chronicled the events leading to the collapse of peaceful relations between the management of the university and leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
In this second part, he examines the controversial State of FUOYE Report, the allegations and counter-allegations surrounding the report.
The ICIR reports that the contents of the report were so damning that the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, queried the management of the university. The chairman of ASUU at the university, Akinyemi Omonijo, who spearheaded the writing of the report was suspended indefinitely without pay by the aggrieved university management.

Just like the case of Opoola, ASUU is also not happy about the appointment of a professor— Abayomi Sunday Fasina— who joined the university from Ekiti State University. The academic union believed that Fasina, formerly a lecturer at the Department of Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences at Ekiti State University, was recruited fraudulently into the university.
“Professor Fasina came to the university in the year 2015 as a sabbatical staff from Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti and became a tenured staff without returning to his previous university before he became a tenured staff of FUOYE in the year 2017,” the union said.
To the union, Fasina’s appointment was an example of employment racketeering going on unchecked in the university because as it said that “ the university’s Vice-Chancellor, Kayode Soremekun nominated him to be the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the university in the same year 2017 that he converted to tenure staff.”
His appointment was despite a recommendation contained in the decision extract of the Faculty of Agriculture Appointments and Promotions Committee (FAAG A and PC) dated March 23, 2017, obtained by
The ICIR .
The FAAG Committee recommended that the applicant (Fasina) must re-prepare his CV to include a list of publishers against his publications in chronological order and that his application should not have been submitted as an internal memorandum.
“He ought to apply from Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti where he is a confirmed Professor,” the committee said in the document.
The Faculty of Agriculture Appointments and Promotions Committee found him (Fasina) appointable subject to interview to clarify issues related to publications vis a viz FUOYE Guidelines for Appointments and Promotions. But the recommendations, it was gathered, were not followed in appointing him, which makes the academic Union consider his appointment as irregular.
“It is important to let you know that university management did not ask him to comply with both the observations and recommendations of FAAG before he was appointed as Professor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University,” ASUU said.
The Deputy Vice-Chancellor was also alleged to have collected double salaries from both the Federal University and Ekiti State University. This was between October 2016 and February 2017 when he submitted a letter of resumption of duty back to the Ekiti State University in September 2016.
Investigations by The ICIR, however, revealed that Fasina received salaries as a lecturer at Ekiti State University and Federal University Oye Ekiti between October 2016 and February 2017. After the expiration of his sabbatical leave at FUOYE, he had received a salary to the tune of N2, 916,840.32 from the university.
Investigations revealed that while he had returned to EKSU at the end of his sabbatical leave, payment of his salary by FOUYE management as a professor on sabbatical leave continued from October 2016 to February 2017 on CONUASS7/10. His pay slip from the month of September 2016 to February 2017 sighted by The ICIR showed his designation as a professor (sabbatical).
This infraction for which nothing has been done is similar to why a senior lecturer in the Department of Physical Sciences at Redeemer’s University, John Falade Alaba, was dismissed by the management of the university on August 20, 2018.
A letter of his dismissal was published in the January 14, 2019 edition of the weekly bulletin of the National Universities Commission (NUC). Falade was relieved of his appointment at the University after it was established that he was on full employment in Redeemer’s University and also on full-time employment at the University of Ilorin, and on sabbatical leave at Landmark University, Omu-Aran, Kwara State.
The management said the act was contrary to the regulations governing the appointment of staff in the university.
