The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has kicked against the sack of its University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) chapter Secretary, Dr. Solomon Oyelekan barely 72 hours of the sack of the chairman of the union, Dr. Kayode Afolayan .

It was learnt that Dr. Kayode Afolayan was sacked for “blowing whistle on the alleged corrupt activities of the Vice Chancellor, Professor Abdulganiyu Ambali for subverting due process in the employment and promotion of his wife among other atrocities”.

The union while calling on all Nigerians and the appropriate authorities to intervene urgently to restore justice in the university and stave off a needless national crisis, challenged President Mohammadu Buhari to show that he is truly committed to fighting corruption by probing frauds and corrupt activities at the University of Ilorin.

ASUU in a press release signed by its Ibadan Zonal Coordinator Dr. Ade Adejumo and Chairman, University of Ibadan chapter, Dr. Deji Omole on Sunday morning, maintained that “as far as industrial relations is concerned, UNILORIN remained a terrorist organization”.

The statement reads” “A few days ago, the University of Ilorin terminated the appointment of Dr. K.N. Afolayan, who is the Chairperson of our the Union in the University. We immediately gave a press conference and pointedly accused the University of Ilorin as a terrorist organization as far as industrial relations is concerned.

“Barely 72 hours afterwards, the University again forwarded a letter to terminate the appointment of Dr Solomon Oyelekan, the Secretary of our Union in the University. We believe that even the press must be shocked by this brazen new demonstration of terrorism. It is time once again for the nation to focus on the evil machinations of the current and past Administrations in the University of Ilorin.”

“The duo further challenged the university administration to state the offence of the purportedly sacked ASUU leadership committed other than an open display of victimization.”
