Some staff members of the Ekiti State University (EKSU) have tackled the Alumni association of the school on the recent sack of over 1000 staff members of the institution, accusing the association of complicity in the development.

In a statement by a group of the affected staff members, they said: ” It’s no more news that almost 1000 staff of different categories were relieved of their employments on the 5th of December following a decision of the University Council.

” One would expect the National leadership of the Alumni would have taken a position on this ugly situation at least if for or against the situation. Apart from the fact that scores of her members are involved in the unjust disengagement, the decision of the Council has caused unavoidable unrest in the University yet the Alumni desk has remains silent.



” Or should we say the National desk of the Alumni Association is not aware of this? The answer is no after all it’s Chairman, Dotun Adetuberu is a member of the University Governing Council that takes such decision. His silence can be understandable though a wicked one as he was able to influence that his 15 candidates during the recruitments are excused off the disengagement.



“It’s pitiable how we want to build a better nation when injustice parades everywhere. The University management forcefully tell graduates of the University to pay 2500 Alumni due before processing transcripts all for Adetuberu and Exco members, so how can he speak against this injustice.

” It was also gathered that the Alumni organization of the school was involved in shady deals like failure at several times to supply items allotted to it by the procurement even when they are not qualified to supply same.

” The status of the University if these categories of staff are sent parking should be bothering a worthy Alumni desk as courses might lose their accreditation, students might get unnecessarily worried and cause unrest hence disrupting academic activities but no, they have a glued lips because of their involvement on matters that are unethical.

” Governor Fayemi should please consider the plights of Lecturers and Technologists whose appointments followed due process and has helped the University to get accreditation in many of her courses as well as other staffs all who have their appointments confirmed over the years. He should have mercy on their families but should deal with management staff that are the brain behind the ghost staffs



” At a later date that is fast approaching, Adetuberu should be prepared to explain why his administration issues receipts that has no serial numbers to her members that pay due even after paying 300 for Bank tellers that should be free and what he did with 7.5m withdrew from the Association’s Ecobank Account.

The hottest part in hell is reserved for human that opt to remain silence in the face of injustice.
