The Academic Board of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede, Osun State, has reportedly passed a vote of no confidence on the rector of the institution, Dr. John Adekolawole, citing 21 grounds for its decision.

The Chairman of the institution’s branch of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, Adekunle Masopa, at an emergency congress of the union on Friday, said the academic board had submitted a paper containing 21 grounds for its decision to move against the rector.

Masopa said when he heard that members of the academic board had a rowdy session at their meeting, he quickly went to the venue, but was told not to intervene. He noted that the board members told him that a position paper on the decision taken at the meeting would be submitted to the union.

The ASUP leader further said, “We tried to intervene, but members of the academic board said they had taken a decision and that their decision would stand. They, however, said a position paper would be communicated to us. The said position paper has been communicated to us.

He said, “The following are some of the reasons adduced for the action: one, flagrant dereliction of duty by absconding from office for about a month. Two, the desecration of the highly respected office of the rector with the creation of a bedroom furnished with a king-size bed which has made it possible for him to be sleeping at work.

“Improper improvisation of dual award programme of National Diploma plus NCE (Nigeria Certificate in Education) programme in collaboration with a consultant.”
But Sola Lawal, the Protocol/Media Relations Officer of the institution, while responding through a statement, explained that the issues causing disagreements in the institution would be resolved.

The statement read in part, “Following the purported suspension of the Rector, Federal Polytechnic, Ede, by the Academic Board of the institution, I wish to first and foremost restate that the school is not in crisis in any way whatsoever.
While we are cognisant of the fact that there are pending fundamental issues to be resolved; as a one big family, I want to assure members of the public and the polytechnic community that the management is on top of the situation and working assiduously to douse the tension.

“Furthermore, it is imperative to inform the public and the academic community that the National Board for Technical Education in collaboration with eminent stakeholders within Ede Community are working round the clock to amicably resolve all contending issues without delay.”

Even the professor from 3 Idiots will not approve of this rector's behaviour

Why do I hv the feeling the bed is for other things... Them get girls for the school. Sex for marks comes to mind

only trying to create an enabling environment for him to be able to work effectively. this people are just filled with jealousy. at least an 'home away from home' environment.
all for the cash out, at the least it is part of the projects he executed while in office. probably the cash flow didn't go round, hence this casting of a thing.
this accusers aren't holy as they are claiming, but still all thanks to them for exposing him for there is more to this than the king size bed if only investigation would be allowed.

Alpha male at sight!!

King size be? this rector go like 3some die.the bed is not just for two

To just sleep or to sleep with students?

Hmmmn. We know the Bed is not for sleeping

I thought the current rector is Dr. Edaogbogun.... When did Adekolawole assume office?

instead of paying the hotels huge sums time to time, let me erect a king sized bed in my office instead. that's how this thought was bred! where in the world does this even happen?

Must everything be about sex.
Someone cannot put king size bed In his office to relax when tired again

where is de photo of de so-called king size bed ? The lecturers are probably jealous of him cos he is gonna b more comfortable at work. Plz d old man shd b allowed to be! Not all men are after sex with ladies. so plz spare d elderly man
