The recently sacked UNILAG VC, Professor Oluwatoyin Ogundipe is presently on the premises of the University Campus, leading the protest by the ASUU, even as the University Senate rejects his sacking.

Rising from its emergency meeting held on Thursday morning, by 88 members and anchored by Prof Chioma Ago, a former Dean of the Faculty of Law, the institution’s Senate said the removal of Ogundipe was against UNILAG’s regulation, adding that the Council removed Ogundipe without giving him the opportunity to defend himself.

They also kicked against the appointment of Prof Omololu Soyombo as Acting Vice Chancellor of the institution.

“Part of the condition for the removal of a Vice Chancellor is that a joint committee of the Senate and Governing Council must sit and investigate with three representatives from each side but the Senate was never represented, the Senate was never consulted, the Senate never knew the allegations against their member.

“The removal of Prof Ogundipe did not follow the Act establishing the university. He was not given fair hearing and the opportunity to defend himself.

“The Senate therefore rejects the removal of Prof Ogundipe and the appointment of an Acting VC."

ASUU might be divided concerning this case. Some will support the Vice Chancellor while others will support the Pro-Chancellor & the new Vice Chancellor.

New day, new drama in Nigeria.

You are very correct. ASUU has always been selfish with their actions. When the dust is settled, these same people will leave him and dance with the new Acting VC. Ogundipe is just a puppet

Why can't the sacked VC, honorably resign formally and go back to his classroom teaching, notwithstanding if he feels witch-hunt or not. Must the African Nigerian man sit tight in a position?
