Public Outcry Trail Appointment of Acting VC in KWASU - THISDAYLIVE

Academic activities at the Kwara State University , Malete, which has been in existence for over 10 years, have been suspended until further notice by the management of the institution following the continuous protest by the entire students of the institution.

The institution was known for its entrepreneurship skills as most of its graduates have become employers of labour. It was also learnt that the development prompted the vice-chancellor to leave Ilorin and the campus for some weeks because of the pressure on him to sign the financial documents for the visitor.

He said Adeyemi is to take charge of responsibilities relating to the smooth running of the institution in accordance with the law establishing it, adding that the governor took the decision in the exercise of the powers conferred on him by the Kwara State University Law 2009 as amended, which empowers the visitor to appoint and remove the vice-chancellor for good cause and following due consultations.

“This action of the state government is illegal and the governing council of KWASU has no hand in the directive.” The students, who described the decision as illegal and a manipulation of the education sector, called on stakeholders and well-meaning Nigerians to stand against what they described as disregard for due process.

In a statement signed by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor , Professor Saka Mahmud, the management said the measure was to ensure security of the campus. “KWASU does not want any situation in which the ongoing temporary crisis, which will be safely and easily resolved by the grace of God will lead to the loss of any life. Please take your luggage and other personal properties and go home safely until further notice.”
