The University of Ilorin chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Movement for Corruption-free Nigeria (MOCON) have vowed to ensure that the petition against the university’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. A. G. Ambali and his predecessor, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, is not swept under the carpet.
ASUU had on Thursday submitted a petition against the duo to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at its Ibadan zonal office.
Oloyede is currently the Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
ASUU and MOCON called for thorough investigation of the petition to either punish the accused persons or clear their names of financial impropriety as claimed in the petition.
Addressing reporters yesterday, the chairman of the UNILORIN chapter of ASUU, who was a signatory to the petition, Dr Kayode Afolayan, said: “There are action plans to ensure that the petition is not swept under the carpet. We are prepared to pursue the petition and prevent it from being swept under. But we need the press and Nigerians to also take the anti-graft agency to task.”
