Academic Staff, including the Chairman and Vice Chairman of Academic Staff Union
of University (ASUU) of the institution, over various malpractices.
The
dismissed LASU-ASUU Chairman and Vice Chairman were Isaac Oyewunmi and Adebowale
Adeyemi-Suenu.
LASU spokesperson, Ademola Adekoya, said in Lagos on
Friday that the institution also dismissed two non-academic staff and demoted
two others.
Among others dismissed for various financial
and academic misconduct were Olatoye Raji, Olugbenro Odofin, Adebowale Ademeso,
John Adeogun, Scholastica Udegbe and Olufemi Soyeju.
Other were Olawale
Raimi, Ademola Adesina, Shamisudeen Badmus, Christiana Obagbuwa, Emmanuel Asapo,
Lateef Salami, Olubukola Oyeniya and Fatimat Bakare.
Mr. Adekoya said
that the decision to dismiss the staff was taken at LASU 115th Governing Council
Meeting on Thursday.
“Pursuant thereto, the Governing Council with
immediate effect dismissed 15 members of the academic staff, two members of
non-academic staff, and sanctioned two others for different acts of
misconduct.
Mr. Oyewunmi was dismissed for demanding N50, 000 from
students while Mr. Adeyemi-Suenu was sacked for “unilaterally altered the
results of 12 students already advised to withdraw by Senate’’
Mr.
Adekoya said the council established that Mr. Oyewunmi demanded N50,000 from
2003 modular year students of Political Science Education on the sandwich
programme to process their results.
According to the council, Mr. Oyewunmi is found culpable of attempt to
obtain money for himself as an inducement to carry out his duties, and
consequently dismissed from the service of the university.
Mr. Adekoya said
that the university established that Mr. Adeyemi-Suenu unilaterally altered the
results of 12 students already advised to withdraw by Senate in the Department
of History and International Studies in the 2015/2016 academic
session.
“He changed their status from “withdrawn” to “good standing”. He
also changed the results of some final year students and stragglers outside the
scope of the departmental decision,” he said.
“Dr Adeyemi-Suenu also awarded grade point of 2.0 to two students in an
examination which they were absent.
“This is tantamount to manipulation of students’ results in
contravention of provisions of the Conditions and Scheme of Service for Senior
Staff and therefore dismissed from the service of the university.”
