Babalakin: We Followed Due Process in Sacking UNILAG’s VC - THISDAYLIVE

By Bennett Oghifo, Uchechukwu Nnaike and Funmi Ogundare

Regardless, the Committee of Vice Chancellors of Universities in Nigeria has condemned the removal of Ogundipe, saying it was done without due process and that he was not given fair hearing. Reacting to Ogundipe’s law suit against the governing council, he said when a VC is removed and he wants to complain, he can write to the visitor, he cannot on his own declare that he has not been removed, neither can he confront his employers. He cannot while still in office, institute an action against his employers. In law, apart from being removed, he has resigned. I think Ogundipe’s legal advisers have not done a thorough job.

Babalakin further alleged that Ogundipe had been indicted for forging documents in recruitment processes. But the Committee of Vice Chancellors said Prof. Ogundipe should have been given an opportunity to defend himself, adding that the appointment of an acting Vice Chancellor outside the three deputy Vice Chancellors of the institution, goes against the laws establishing Nigerian universities.
