The management of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, has suspended two senior officials and the President of the Students’ Union Government over allegations of unauthorised collection of money from students.
The university’s Registrar, Mufutau Ibrahim, disclosed the development in a statement on Tuesday, explaining that the action followed allegations that some students were compelled to pay an unauthorised levy.
Ibrahim said the affected officials are the Director of the Directorate of Educational Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Olanrewaju Ogunjobi; the Deputy Dean of Student Affairs and Support Services, Banji Rildwan Olaleye; and the SUG President, James Iyanuoluwa Adio.
According to him, Ogunjobi and Olaleye were accused in a petition of collecting N1,000 from each 100-level student purportedly for practical sessions conducted by the directorate.
