The Chairman of the Academic
Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Lagos State University (LASU) chapter,
Isaac Oyewunmi, has denied the corruption allegation levelled against him by
the authorities of the school.
The Governing Council of the
institution sacked Oyewunmi alongside his deputy, Adebowale Adeyemi, for
various alleged fraudulent activities on Friday .
He was accused of demanding
N50,000 from 2003 modular year students of Political Science Education, who
were poised to process their results while Adeyemi-Suenu was accused of
“unilaterally changing the status of students earlier asked to withdraw from
the university from ‘withdraw’ to ‘good standing.”
Reacting to the incident,
Oyewunmi blamed his predicament on “political moves.”
“All the allegations are false. I
am not guilty although right now I have been asked to step aside while the
union (ASUU) deals with it. The secretary is in the best position to react,” he
told Premium Times.
“I don’t want to say much but we
all know what is happening in our varsity, all they are saying is politically
motivated. When the time is right, we would know, we have a robust structure in
ASUU and the union has asked me not to talk on this issue so I won’t flay the
union’s position.
The secretary of LASU-ASUU
branch, Anthony Dansu, said the decision came as a shock.
“We are very shocked by the
actions. It came to us all as a shock but the union is on top of the whole
situation. At the appropriate time, the union will act,” he stated.
