 FUOYE CRISIS: MINISTER OF EDUCATION WARNS THE VICE CHANCELLOR, COUNCIL and REGISTRAR

Based on the outcry to the Minister of Education on the Vice Chancellorship successor crises rocking the institution of learning, the honorable Minister directed NUC Executive Secretary to summon the Council members, VC, Registrar and all members of both Search and Selection Committees. They were summoned on Tuesday 8th December 2020.

At the meeting where everybody was allowed to express his/her mind, the Executive Secretary, having listened to all parties warned the VC never to interfere in the appointment processes again.  In fact, the Secretary told the VC that he has no job at the meetings of any of the committees that his job stopped at the election of Selection Committee by the University Senate.

The secretary also warned the Council Chairman against further defiance from the Laws and guidelines on the appointment of VC.

The Executive Secretary further blamed the University controversial Registrar of incompetence that he ought to have advised the Council appropriately peradventure he knows the job.

The Secretary recommended the Registrar for training immediately so as to avoid further administrative errors.

Meanwhile, after the meeting, some members of Council who insisted on following due process on the VC's Selection have started receiving series of threat calls.

With this move by the Minister, it is hoped that SANITY would now prevail. Due process should now be followed and extant laws governing selection of credible new VC should be strictly adhered to without undue interference and show of parochialism. No change of rules to favor any ”anointed” candidate, it must be thoroughly transparent and acceptable to the whole FUOYE Community.

Adebisi Adelaja Oye-Ekiti, 11 September 2025 — The Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) on Thursday witnessed heightened tension as non-teaching staff members under the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), and the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) staged a mass protest across the campus. The protest followed a joint congress of the three unions earlier in the day, where workers resolved to take to the streets over issues ranging from unpaid relocation allowances, non-payment of August salaries, withheld arrears, alleged maladministration, and what they described as “gross misplacement of priorities” by university management. The protesting workers carried placards with bold inscriptions that captured their frustrations and demands. Some of the slogans read: “Pay Our Relocation Allowance in Full — Enough of Excuses!” “No August Salary, No Peace in FUOYE!” “Stop Cheating 2020 & 2021 Staff — Pay Our Arrears...

Staff Intimidated as Foreign Students Invade Campus in a Council-Orchestrated “Welcome” for the Returning VC Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), Nigeria: A University in Crisis The Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) is once again engulfed in controversy as its embattled Vice Chancellor, Professor Abayomi Sunday Fasina, staged a dramatic and questionable return to office after months of forced “research leave.” This return, which occurred without any formal communication to the Senate, Council, or the wider university community, has sparked outrage among academic and administrative staff, who describe the event as “a coup against the university system.” Even more alarming is the allegation that the Council Chairman, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN), facilitated the VC’s return using external and foreign students to intimidate university staff, an action that many see as an abuse of authority and a breach of university statutes. An Unprecedented ...
