UNIOSUN gets acting Vice-Chancellor
A Professor of Geo-Technical Engineering, Adefemi Bello has been appointed as the acting Vice-Chancellor of Osun State University, Osogbo, the institution’s Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council, Mallam Yusuf Alli, SAN, has announced.
This followed the expiration of the tenure of Professor Labo Popoola, which ends tomorrow, Thursday, October 3, 2021.
Announcing the appointment, Alli said the appointment takes effect from Friday, October 5, 2021.
Professor Bello was the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Administration and Development before his appointment.
The appointment, according to Alli, was to avoid a vacuum in the university administration following the litigation that compel the council to put on hold the process of appointing a substantive Vice Chancellor for the school.
Recall that the Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, and seven other professors had sued the school management over its advertisement that only candidates with a doctorate degree can vie for the Vice Chancellor’s office of the school, thereby putting its members at disadvantage.
