Breaking: Ogundipe Allegedly Compiling Staff List for Punishment.

As Indicted Ogundipe, Acting VC, UNILAG Bursar jubilate as Babalakin, Unilag's Pro-Chancellor resigns


News filtering into our Newsroom authoritatively has it that a jubilant party of the trio of the recused Vice Chancellor, Professor Toyin Ogundipe, the Acting Vice Chancellor, Professor Sade Ogunsola and the University Bursar, Lekan Lawal, who were all fingered in the recently uncovered merciless and unprecedented looting of that University of first choice were sighted celebrating the recused Council Chairman's resignation. This confirms our recent reports on the gergantuan efforts being made by the trio to influence both the actual sittings and the final report of the Visitation Panel, which was submitted earlier today to Education Minister, Adamu Adamu who received the report on behalf of the Visitor, President Muhammad Buhari.

Dr. Wale Babalakin (SAN), who until his resignation letter dated September 15, 2020 but released to the Press shortly after the Panel's reports were submitted this afternoon, said his zeal to rescue the University from acute financial mis-management which was done with the best of intention and in accordance with the appropriate laws establishing the University, by the University Council and which should have been subjected only to court interpretation as opposed to the setting up of a Special Visitation Panel, was aimed at rubishing him and the Council under his leadership by the supervising authorities. This intention according to him is manifestly displayed by his government's directive that he should be recused, the setting up of the Visitation Panel, it's terms of reference, it's hobnobbing with the indicted officers and the manner witnesses were obstructed from appearing before it, et cetera.

Analysts have explained that, just as the Pro-Chancellor has alleged in his resignation letter to the Visitor through the Education Minister, that the appointment of the Panel and it's terms of reference was orchestrated to vindicate Ogundipe and villify the Council under his leadership, the indicted officers and corruption may be having it their way after all.

The old adage, however, has it that truth will always prevail at the very last.

"If you malign the truth, it will be more aligned; if you bury the truth it will certainly resurrect on the third day and if lies have been traveling for twenty years, just in a single day, truth will overtake it", the saying goes.

Further reports reaching us indicate that most staff of the university community who claim their messiah, in the person of Babalakin, the Pro-Chancellor who has just resigned in protest, are mourning his exit as Council Chairman. Their grief, according to reports, got escalated as the recused Vice Chancellor, Professor Toyin Ogundipe is alleged, in consort with the Acting VC, to be compiling a list of staff members perceived to have supported Babalakin, for punitive measures.

It is safe, however, to wait for the Visitor's white paper and actions in the aftermath of the Special Visitation Panel's report.
