The management of Oduduwa University, Ipetumodu, Ile-Ife, Osun State, has called for calm.
The institution said yesterday in a statement by the Media Director, Damilola Fadare: “The attention of the management of Oduduwa University, Ipetumodu, Ile-Ife, Osun State, has been drawn to news making the rounds in the mainstream as well as online media platforms, calling for a boycott of Oduduwa University by some individuals and/or groups. This is as a result of the alleged incident, which occurred at Hilton Hotels, Ile-Ife.
“The management of Oduduwa University, at this time, wishes to inform the public that Oduduwa University is an institution that is operated by its Governing Council, although it is one of the businesses under the conglomerate of Dr. Ramon Adegoke Adedoyin.
“Oduduwa University has operated for over 12 years under a serene, peaceful and exciting environment without any form of interruption on its academic calendars and activities. We wish to state further that Oduduwa University, over these past 12 years and still counting, has produced role models who are flourishing in their areas of endeavours.
“We unequivocally wish to state that the safety of workers and students of this noble institution remains paramount to us and at no time has Oduduwa University been linked to any nefarious act.
”Nevertheless, the management sympathises with the bereaved family. We, however, appeal to the public to restrain from comments targeted at tarnishing the good image of our university and to allow the ongoing investigation by the law enforcement agents on the matter.”
