The management, Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, (FUOYE) has insisted that relieving its former registrar, Mr. Olatunbosun Odusanya, of his appointment over allegation of illegal recruitment of 337 staff and other misconducts followed due process with recourse.
The university said contrary to allegation of witch-hunt being peddled by the sacked registrar, his termination of appointment was carried out by the University Governing Council and not the management over sundry proven allegations of misconduct in accordance with Section 14(3) of the Regulations Governing Condition of Service of Senior Staff of the university.
This was disclosed in a statement by Chief Information Officer to the institution’s Vice-Chancellor, Foluso Ogunmodede.
According to the statement, the Governing Council of the university which considered and upheld reports of a Committee on Review of Appointments, Staff Disciplinary Committee of Council and some external members of Council, said Odusanya was given fair hearing, hence, due process was strictly followed by the committee which sat between 19th and 26th April, 2021.
However, the committee indicted Odusanya for violating Public Service Rules 020102 and 030301 on a series of appointments made between 1st August, 2020 and 10th February, 2021 by recruiting 337 staff against 291 documented in the appointment register.
Specifically, Odusanya ignored former Vice-Chancellor, Professor Kayode Soremekun’s directive by recruiting an over 64 year-old staff of a Polytechnic, who was billed for retirement in the next ten months as a Senior Lecturer.
He also recruited a sacked employee of a university teaching hospital as a Chief Accountant in the university.
The statement reads: “The former registrar, Mr. Olatunbosun Odusanya’s termination of appointment from the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, followed due process in line with extant regulations and best practice.
“Mr. Odusanya recruited 337 members of staff illegally as against 291 documented in the Appointment Register in the Personnel Affairs Division as reported by the Committee on the Review of Appointments.
