IS AOCOED SAFE FOR BOTH STAFF AND STUDENTS?


@VONNEWS


The Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Oto, Ijanikin, Lagos may seem serene on the surface, especially as the prestigious institution is in session and the campus appears calm, and academic activities are on going.


But intrinsically, trouble might be lurking around the corner as echoes from the past may erupt soon to truncate the serenity and tranquility currently experienced in the academic community.


The reason for this palpable fear is not unconnected with the protest by concerned members of the College Alumni Association on allegations of falsification of age, maladministration, incompetence, nepotism,embezzlement of funds, against the duo- Bursar, Mr.Adeyanju Adebisi and Registrar,
.S.A.O.Muhideen.


The protest over these abnormalities which was known to the Independent Civil Society of Nigeria and the Special Adviser to the Lagos state governor *on Education* ,Barr.


Tokunbo Wahab who tasked the Provost, Prof.(Mrs.) Bilikis Bidemi Lafiaji- Okuneye, to set up an investigation committee to be headed by her, has yet to be solved, a reason the crises may resurface anytime soon.
Strangest of the situation is the fact that, from every indication, the suspects and bones of contention (Registrar and Bursar) are still playing umpires in the case against them by remaining in their respective positions while the matter against them is being investigated.

No doubt, as VONN reporter in her findings gathered that, it is only a question of time before trouble will brew again in the institution as quiet dissenting voices may come aloud again leading to cataclysmic reactions that may seriously break the fragile truce sustaining normalcy in AOCOED presently.


Recall that, diverse atrocities were committed under the watch and at the instance of these suspects and their unknown cohorts near and far.


For instance,Dr.Lazarus Gift, Vice Chairman of COEASU, was issued a strong warning; Comrade Adelakun Segun, Secretary NASU, was also warned; Chairman NASU, Comr.Badmus Adeshola was demoted and re deployed to Alausa;Comr.Wunmi Ombugadu, the chairman of SSUCUEN, was demoted and re deployed to Alausa ,Comr. Joyi, NASU member was equally demoted and re deployed; Comr.Ige Ajayi, *COEASU chairman*, was warned for organising a protest press conference; Secretary SSUCUEN,
Comr.Afeez was relieved of his services abruptly, even as members of NATCEATAN were warned, threatened and harassed variously in the bid to gag concerned players and AOCOED development stakeholders who grew uncomfortable with the internal criminality dispensed from the sensitive *offices of the two principal officers in AOCOED*.

This is also to understand that the Chairman of the current council, Prof Olasupo has been described as being incompetent to handle this case as he himself still draws salaries from the state government which is against all books establishing and guiding the day to day running of the college.

*It is on record too and still fresh in the memory of stakeholders
the case of fraudulent practices of the past administration and the last Governing Council led by Prof.Tunde Samuel , as that Governing Council flagrantly violated all the procurement regulations, which is a criminal offence..The breakdown of 2018 Accreditation fund is an indicator of this criminality.
Part of the fraudulent practice of that Council is the TETFUND building meant for Thearter Arts and CCA which was to have been completed since last year is still at foundation level and the money for this project had been deemed to have been mismanaged


There is therefore an urgent need for these suspects and their cohorts to be suspended *in order to pave way for justice to prevail,* particularly as they may be tampering with relevant documents and information so as to evade or escape judgement.
