FUOYE Senate Passes Vote of Confidence in Vice Chancellor
The Senate of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has expressed full support for its Vice Chancellor, Prof. Abayomi Fasina, during its 70th meeting held yesterday.
The decision came amidst allegations made by the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), which the Senate described as “baseless and malicious.”
Alumni and Staff Unions Rally Behind Prof. Fasina
The FUOYE Alumni Association has also defended Prof. Fasina, rejecting accusations of sexual harassment, intimidation, and financial misconduct.
The alumni president, Bishop Tope Arogundade, dismissed these claims as reckless and motivated by personal grievances, emphasizing the Vice Chancellor’s contributions to the university’s growth.
Other groups, including the Coalition of Staff Unions, Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Congress of Nigerian Academic (CONUA), Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), and the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), have also shown their support.
In a joint statement, they called SSANU’s allegations unfounded, adding that Prof. Fasina has significantly transformed the institution through infrastructural and academic advancements over the past four years.
A Call for Unity
The university’s spokesman, Mr. Foluso Ogunmodede, highlighted that these allegations aim to tarnish the Vice Chancellor’s reputation ahead of the 2025 Vice-Chancellorship race.
He urged stakeholders, including the Federal Ministry of Education and the National Universities Commission (NUC), to continue supporting Prof. Fasina’s vision for FUOYE.
Alumni President Bishop Arogundade echoed this sentiment, encouraging detractors to acknowledge the positive strides the university has made under Prof. Fasina’s leadership.
The FUOYE Senate, staff unions, and alumni remain steadfast in their support for Prof. Fasina, urging the community to focus on progress rather than divisive allegations.
