By Dayo Adesulu The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU has kicked against the appointment of former Vice Chancellor of University of Ilorin, Professor Ishaq Oloyede as JAMB Registrar, calling for his probe. It added that his era as Vice Chancellor was characterized with anti-democratic and anti-union antecedents. ASUU President, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi while addressing journalists in Lagos said: “Given our inside knowledge of his anti-democratic and anti-union antecedents antecedents, Professor Oloyede is the last person that we expected to be so honoured with a national appointment of that status in the education sector.” According to him, Oloyede ‘s anti-workers stance stood out in the case of the sacked UNILORIN 49, adding, “he led the Administration’ s team to as far as Lagos to testify falsely against the workers before the Industrial Arbitration Panel.” He said that when academic staff were reinstated in 2009 by the Supreme Court, Oloyede, as VC then refused to fully implement the orders of the Court. Ogunyemi pointed out that in 2008, Oloyede as VC said that UNILORIN is happy without ASUU, while at the same time collecting money from UNILORIN academics in the name of ASUU without remitting same to the Union. Ogunyemi who accused Oloyede of nepotism said: “As VC of UNILORIN, the system was manipulated to emotional his son and daughter and within weeks, gave them awards for overseas training despite explicit regulations against the practice.” He also said that in May 2012, Professor Oloyede as VC, suddenly doubled the amount of pension being deducted from UNILORIN staff under the pretext that the deductions were not enough, adding that this was in contravention of the Pension Reform Act which prescribed 7,5 per cent. The ASUU President said: “The above represent some of the reasons why the Union is appalled that Oloyede as being offered an appointment to head the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.” The Union has resolved to lodge an official complaint with the appropriate authorities and to demand a full fledged investigation into the activities of Oloyede while in office as VC of UNILORIN. ”

even all his appointments dey get K-leg!! smh

I'm not surprised,for the fact the UNILORIN is not part of ASUU,they will seek to frustrate any attempt by the government to appoint Prof. Oloyede.The man was a prominent anti-union character when he was VC.
Thanks to that,UNILORIN has the most stable academic calendar among all the federal universities till date.
ASUU is a greedy cabal and one of the problems of Nigeria's educational system; there is nothing they can do,let Oloyede do all in his power to bring them to heel so that Nigerian youths can be free of these bloodsucking vipers called ASUU.
Ambali chased them out with DSS earlier this year,and they could do nothing but beg the SUG for political support.Toothless bulldogs that they are.

Is he not the same Prime Minister of Islam in Nigeria? What concerns Islam with Western education?

Sha! ASUU is merely stating her position but this govt is all-deaf to opposing voices.

Okay

hmmm....nothing can change that na

Lemme AsK You a Question

Do You think One's Ability To Manage is Dependent on One's Discipline?

Funny Enough,If I ask you who has been Nigeria's Oustanding President Since 1999,you had Probably say Jonathan or Yar'Adua and For the records;

Jonathan Studied Zoology,and as per Your myopic Reasoning What has Zoology got to do with Politics

Yar'adua(Nigeria's Most shrewd President ever) was a chemist.He had B.Ed Chemistry Education From ABU Zaria and he had his Masters in Analytical Chemistry from the same school

Make I school you More o,He was the Operational Head of about the Companies Including a Bank Bfore he became President.

So,next time b4 u think Hypocritically look Left and Right

That was why I used Prolly.

Actually I was a student under Oloyede in Ilorin, the accusation of anti union are true to a large extent but in terms of achievements, Oloyede brought Unilorin to first position with sound academic calender, discipline both in staff and students, massive infra structural developments. Lot of research projects and developments.

Based on the above, there is no doubt that he will restore sanity to Jamb .

ASUU again?

STFU, Oloyede was an academician and an administrator. He was a professor and he rose from DVC academics to admin then to Vc of unilorin and he achieved greatly.
Fine, he is an Islamic scholar, but does that take away his intelligence and administrative abilities away from him? No.
Stop try to bring up religioun as an issue here.
Osinbajo is a pastor and a professor of law and he is the number 2 citizen of Nigeria with lots of responsibilities on his head. Does that mean he wouldn't be able to deliver?
So Mr, don't let sentiment becloud your judgement.
