Workers and students of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Friday jubilated
following the dissolution of the university’s governing council by the Federal Government.

The dissolution of the governing council headed Prof.

Ndoma Egba was said to have been announced on
the Nigerian Television Authority late night Thursday.

The Public Relations Officer of the OAU, Mr. Biodun Olanrewaju, also confirmed the dissolution in Osogbo on Friday.

“I also saw the advertorial announcing the
dissolution,” Olanrewaju said.

The Chairman of the Non Academic Staff Union in the university, Mr. Wole Odewumi, told our
correspondents that members of his union and those of the Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities had been jubilating following the dissolution.

Odewumi said the appointment of the new Vice
Chancellor, Prof. Ayobami Salami, had also been
nullified.

He said the Federal Government would appoint an
acting vice chancellor to direct the affairs of the
university pending the constitution of a new
governing council which would appoint a substantive VC.

The NASU chairman said workers had shut down the
university’s senate building with the aim of
preventing vital documents and property of the
university from being stolen.

He said, “We are very happy today. We have been
jubilating since we heard the announcement.

“Yes, it is true that the Federal Government has
dissolved the governing council.

“We are still monitoring activities at the university’s
senate building; we don’t want anything to be stolen
from the place.”
