UNIMED sacks deputy VC over 'unsubstantiated allegations against management’

Adolphus Loto, the deputy vice-chancellor of administration and clinical services at the University of Medical Sciences in Ondo, has been relieved of his position.In a statement, Temitope Oluwatayo, UNIMED public relations officer, said the decision was confirmed on Thursday, following the adoption and ratification of the senate decision by the governing council.

“UNIMED Senate, on Monday, April 29, 2024, considered the report of the PCC and recommended the removal of Prof. Loto as the deputy vice-chancellor by an overwhelming majority with 100 percent of the voters approving his removal as DVC Admin,” the statement reads.“The decision of the senate was predicated on the former DVC’s unbecoming conduct including frivolous, spurious and unsubstantiated allegations against the University Management.

“The governing council had earlier referred Prof. Loto’s 13-page petition as well as the responses of the vice-chancellor, the registrar and the bursar to the petitions committee of the council appointed to investigate and make proper recommendations. “The petition committee of council, therefore, found the allegations untrue, malicious and embarrassing to the university community and are liable to bring the university to disrepute given Prof. Loto’s position as deputy vice chancellor.”Ayodele Arowojolu, UNIMED pro-chancellor and chair of the governing council, said the unanimous decision of the senate accentuates the lack of confidence in Loto by his peers.
