The Students Union President of the Obafemi
Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Mr. Omotayo Akande,
has been suspended over moves to
get N650,000 to attend an International Campus
Conference at New York, United State of America.
This was contained in a parliamentary resolution
jointly signed by the Speaker, Adebari
Adedayo; Clerk of the House, Ogunkanmi
Omotayo; and Deputy Speaker, Olowofoyehan
Oluseun, on Monday.
The president, who was suspended from office by
members of the Students Representative Council
for a month, was said to have breached
procedures for ‘secretly’ requesting the fund from
the school management.
The suspended president had allegedly written a
letter of sponsorship to the school management for
the trip without informing other executive
members.
It was learnt that when the information leaked,
some members of the students’ legislative
arm argued that the moves of the suspended
president was suspicious.
According to the resolution, the suspended
president was summoned to give his own account
after a petition was written against him but was
found wanting.
The resolutions read in part, “The House
summoned the Students’ Union President to the
floor of the Parliament in line with a
correspondence written against him by a
honourable member of the House, claiming he
requested for close to N700,000 sponsorship
based on his proposed ‘Trip to the 7th Millenium
International Conference for Students’ Leaders’.
“The President claimed there was nothing
clandestine in his letter of request for sponsorship
as some of the CEC members knew about it.
“The Parliament, being the conscience and
guidance of our dear Union, took a constitutional
look into the matter. After much observations,
debates and submissions from honourables, and of
course, gallerians, the President was found wanting
of not following “constitutional procedure” by
sending his letter of request for sponsorship
without the signature of the Union Secretary-
General or his Assistant (both claimed to be away)
and his failure to inform the House.”
The students also called on the Economic and
Financial Crime Commission to investigate the OAU
management over increase in school fees. |
