The Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-ife was yesterday filled with positive emotions as the erstwhile Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Anthony Elujoba was granted bail by the Federal High Court, Osogbo on the basis of Self Recognizance.

Professor Elujoba, who is facing trial on alleged misappropriation of funds during is time as Acting Vice-Chancellor has been held in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for the past ten days. Despite being reputable for restoring peace to the Obafemi Awolowo University Campus, there are claims that the Professor of Pharmacognosy might have broken the law.

Members of staff and student unions would however not subscribe to these beliefs as many claim that the allegations arise from a witch-hunt by some caucuses that have deterred the progress of the University over the past few years.

Upon Professor Elujoba's arrival to the University Campus, workers, Students and other members of the University Campus could not contain their emotions as they took to the streets to welcome the former acting Vice-Chancellor. However, although Professor Elujoba would not address the crowd for safety reasons, the current Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor​ Eyitope Ogunbodede appreciated the members of the University Campus present for their support for Professor Elujoba, he then went on to further encourage the workers to resume back to work, reiterating that he was going to uphold the peace that the former Vice-Chancellor had brought to Campus.

However, the case remains in court and many hope that the truth would ultimately be revealed. In the meantime, Professor Elujoba has been granted bail on Self Recognizance, while Mrs Akeredolu, with whom he faces trial has been granted bail under the condition of the payment of N50m and the provision of two sureties.

Great Ife has always been on the side of justice. It's been long both students and staff loved a Vice Chancellor like Elujoba.

Despite the many petitions written against his predecessors, EFCC didn't invite let alone prosecute them. Elujoba's crime was that he refused to bribe those EFCC guys to make the petitions disappear. How could Elujoba be remanded in EFCC or Prison custody over a money he didn't embezzle while confirmed thieves like Saraki or Thief.nubu never slept for one day in any custody while their trials lasted?

And this is why I always believe the testimony of anyone who claims to be a born again Christian and attends the likes of Catholic, Baptist, Anglican than those attending the new generation churches. Elujoba is a professing Catholic and has defended his faith by refusing to be Nigerian before the corrupt EFCC. His immediate predecessor and his management team are all acclaimed pastors in New generation churches but they couldn't defend their faith.

Finally, that evil association called Committe of Vice Chancellors should be disbanded. They are like a cult where they take an oath to suppress staff and student welfare, and enrich themselves.

You are wrong That was the design - all concrete. You must be confusing the Amphitheatre with the Oduduwa Hall. They are separate. My parents have been in the university since 1966 and they dont believe you

you sit in your house and keep quoting your parents, oduduwa hall has nice green cushion seats, underneath the oduduwa hall is ODLT 1 and 2. So i can not be confused here. my dear stop mentioning me.

...and I have been informed that the Amphitheatre's original design was without a roof! The roof apparently was built after almost 2 decades so the Amphitheatre is useableall year round. Cushions in a facility without a roof wouldnt be a good idea,

I am not trying to pick a fight..just correcting. Like I said, Oduduwa Hall is the room with orange and green cushion chairs, Amphi theatre was an open space with concrete seating slabs. ODLT 1 and 2 were never part of the design. Those were added to increase number of lecture rooms. ODLT is not the main Oduduwa hall.

I mentioned the ODLT as underneath so u know i am not confusing O. Hall and A. Theater

Correction:

ODLT 1 and 2 are underneath the Amphitheater, not Oduduwa hall.

Also, the Amphitheater was originally designed to be without any covering, just like the original Greco/Roman theaters. Most people don't realize how smart the roof is. It is designed to be obviously not part of the main structure, so the building still remains technically an amphitheater, but with a canopy over it. I have no idea where you got the story of padded seats from.

Jinjo........

Great Ife shouldn't be in Nigeria
