The truth is beginning to come to light concerning the several
allegations leveled against the
embattled Vice Chancellor of the
Lagos State University of Lagos,
Professor Lateef Hussein.The
Professor was said to have
squandered a whooping N17
billion and
another N2.5 billion since he
became the administrative head
of the institution currently under
the hammer of the National
Universities Commission (NUC).
Political watchers in the State
also believe that the VC is going
to be a subject of another
political crisis that may envelope
the State as it prepares for the
2011 elections.
While the State lawmakers want
him removed because they can
no longer bear his excesses, the
Governor, Babatunde Fashola,
says the sack of Professor
Hussein was not his priority as all
he was concerned about is
rescuing the institution from total
collapse despite the glaring
maladministration of the school
since 2005.
Many do not know why he was
allegedly dictatorial or why he
acted with impunity till the
members of the State House of
Assembly began to raise
eyebrow.
Huhuolnline.com has learnt that
he was completely untouchable
because of his affiliation with the
former Governor of the State
and stalwart of the Action
Congress of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu.
A source close to the Vice
Chancellor explained that the
Professor was only used as a
draining pipe.
The source who would want to
remain anonymous, further
stated that most of the funds
that were earmarked for the
development of the institution
were actually redirected to
fighting the election tribunal
cases of the ACN gubernatorial
candidates of other States
especially in the South-Western
part of the country.
According to the source,
"The VC actually had no money
to really work. Whatever amount
you hear were sent to the
school, just know that some
people somewhere had
tampered with it.
"It is quite painful that these
people who knew where the
various amount went now
turned their backs against the
innocent man.
I am quite sure they want to use
and dump him for political
reasons."
He also confided in
Huhuonline.com that it would be
difficult to sack the VC as he
may be forced to expose some
people who have their fingers
soiled in the issue.
"Believe me; his case is going to
be a hard nut to crack for
Governor Fashola because the
person who the Governor looks
up to for power is the same
person that the VC is placing his
hope.
He however agreed that Vice
Chancellor Hussein went beyond
his powers in the administration
of the school as he thought he
would continue to have the
support of the government that
was already handicapped due to
the interference of ex-Governor
Tinubu.
"He actually thought that since
he had secrets, they would
always allow him to have his way
but I remember warning him
especially about Dr. Abubakar
Momoh, who had long qualified
to be a Professor.
"For some reasons I may not be
able to tell you now, the political
scientist was continuously
frustrated and if not for the love
he had for the institution, he
would have long been gone,"
the source claimed.
The Speaker of the House,
Adeyemi Ikuforiji, while
reprimanding the VC when he
was summoned to the House
early this week, reminded him of
how he appealed on behalf
Momoh who is a notable Political
Scientist.
The speaker said he was
surprised that months after the
appeal, the VC had decided to
do his own wish making the
lawmakers look stupid.
The current move by the State
Governor to downplay the
instruction on the sack of the VC
by the lawmakers may soon
pitch him against them politically
as the Speaker is known to be a
fierce fighter.
More would be known on this
issue when the lawmakers
resume from their two weeks
recess on November 8th this
year.
However, this is not the first time
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu will employ
unlawful means to achieve a
valid course. Recall that during
Sanni Abacha`s regime, Senator
Ahmed Bola Tinubu, who was
exiled in Chicago, Illinois, USA;
illegally sold controlled
substance (white heroin), and
allegedly used earnings from it
to finance NADECO activities.
