The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian
Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union, at the Obafemi Awolowo
University, Ile Ife, are now protesting the appointment of Prof.
Ayobami Salami as the new vice chancellor of the university.
Salami is the deputy vice chancellor
(academics) and his name was announced as successor of the outgoing VC,
Prof. Bamitale Omole, on Monday evening.
Omole is vacating the seat of vice chancellor before the of end of June.
The chairmen of SSANU and NASU, Mr.
Ademola Oketunde and Wole Odewumi, respectively led hundreds of their
members to stage a protest against Salami’s appointment in front of the
Senate Building of the university as early as 8am.
Oketunde said despite the court order
stopping the process of appointing a new VC, the governing council went
ahead and announced Salami as Omole’s successor.
The protesters accused Omole of
financial recklessness, saying the outgoing VC insisted on installing
his DVC to cover his alleged illegal acts.
