Pro-Chancellor and chairman of Governing Council, University of Lagos (UNILAG) Dr. Wale Babalakin has finally spoken up on the leadership tussle bewildering University administration.
Babalakin While speaking with press men said Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe’s removal as Vice-Chancellor followed due process.
He added that Ogundipe was given opportunity to defend himself against allegations of financial misappropriation
Addressing reporters on Friday at the MMA2 arrival hall, Babalakin said the Council indicted Ogundipe of looting and reckless mismanagement of University funds.
He said Ogundipe renovated his official quarters for N49 million without approval from Council and allocated N41 million to the University Bursar to renovate his residence to cover up.
Babalakin also claimed that Ogundipe was protesting his removal wrongly.
Rather than go to court, he said the law requires he should write an appeal to the Visitor.
We recalls that the Senate of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) on Thursday rejected the appointment of Professor Omololu Soyombo as the acting Vice-Chancellor of the institution.
