Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, vice
chancellor of the University of Lagos, has asked the public to ignore the
announcement of his removal from office.
Earlier on Wednesday, Ogundipe’s
removal was announced during a meeting of the varsity’s governing council which
was presided over by Wale Babalakin, pro-chancellor and chairman of the
council.
The meeting held at the National Universities Commission (NUC) headquarters in Abuja.
However, in response to the
announcement via a statement on Wednesday, Ogundipe described it as untrue and
a figment of the announcer’s imagination.
“The attention of the University
of Lagos (Unilag) management has been drawn to the ‘Notice to the General
Public on the Removal of the Vice Chancellor, University of Lagos’; dated
August 12, 2020 and signed by Oladejo Azeez, Esq, Registrar and Secretary to
Council, stating that the current Vice Chancellor, Professor Oluwatoyin T.
Ogundipe, FAS has been removed from office with immediate effect,” the
statement read.
“This is untrue and a figment of
his imagination.
“Therefore, stakeholders of
Unilag and the general public are advised to disregard this mischievous
disinformation about the sitting Vice Chancellor of Unilag, contained in that
notice.
“Professor Ogundipe still remains
Unilag’s Vice Chancellor.”
