CONFLICT RACKETEERS AND PROFITEERS IN FUOYE: A KITCHEN CABINET OF CHAOS By Akin Akinsoluga | 5th January, 2025. It is no longer news that Federal University Oye Ekiti (FUOYE) has become a theater of persistent crises, with a select group of individuals orchestrating much of the unrest for personal gain. This cabal, which can best be described as conflict racketeers and profiteers, operates under the guise of loyalty to the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Abayomi Fasina, but in reality, they are fueling the instability for their selfish interests. The Kitchen Cabinet of Chaos At the forefront of this group is Dr. Awosusi, a former registrar of Ekiti State University (EKSU), who has reinvented himself as a “boy-boy” of the FUOYE Vice-Chancellor. Awosusi, who once held a position of respect in academia, has now aligned himself with dubious schemes, prioritizing personal rewards over institutional welfare.
