CONFUSION IN FUOYE GOVERNING COUNCIL OVER EJECTED REGISTRAR AND BURSAR

By Akin Akinsoluga,  Weds. 16th February, 2022.



It is reported that there is confusion and panic among the University Governing Council members over the termination of appointments of the substantive Registrar and Bursar. Our reporter gathered that the Governing Council Chairman, Dr. Muhammad Lawan Yahuza and the Management had received a letter from the Ministry of Education directing reinstatement of the duo within a stipulated timeframe.

Information from the ministry stated that investigation revealed that the process for terminating their appointments was biased. Thus, the Minister of Education in his letter which was personally received by the Council chairman in company of the Acting Registrar, Mr Mufutau Ibrahim on Tuesday 15th February, 2022 ordered the reinstatement of both staff while a thorough investigation will be carried out on all parties and other petitions pending against the Council. 

When our reporter reached a member of council on the matter, the member sounded worrisome that the matter is becoming an embarrassment to the University. The member denied being culpable in any shady deals on the matter and that Council only took decision with respect to the report submitted by the investigative committee. When asked if he was certain the investigative committee report was not manipulated, he noted that he cannot confidently say since he was not a member of the committee coupled with recent happenings.

It would be recalled that the Registrar, Olatunbosun Odusanya and Bursar, Mrs Bolatito Akande were in April and June last year, 2021, relieved of their jobs by the university's Governing Council led by the Chairman, Dr. Muhammad Lawan Yahuza.

Not satisfied with their removal, the embattled Registrar and Bursar opted for the intervention of the lawmakers through the chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Petition and Privileges, Senator Akinyeluye who intervened to resolve the matter amicably in an executive session.

It was further gathered that after waiting for the council to come up with their decision out of the proposed suitable options for both sides, ruling was given in August 2021 to reinstate the Registrar and the Bursar.

Again, the duo waited to no avail on the letter of appeal for reinstatement. Instead, the Governing Council ignored the Senate and went on with the process of appointing new Registrar and Bursar for the university.

The duo now approached the national industrial court to seek redress on the matter of unjust removal from their positions. The National Industrial Court (NIC) on Monday 31st January, 2022 ordered that all process for the interview for the position of Registrar and Bursar for the Federal University, Oye Ekiti State scheduled for February 2, 2022 to be stopped and status quo maintained until the determination of the case.

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 ...
