FUNAAB Governing Council And VC Clash Over Administrative Style.

A crisis of confidence is brewing between the Vice Chancellor of the
Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, FUNAAB, Professor Olusola
Oyewole and the members of the governing council of the institution,
led by a former Works Minister, Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe.
The crisis, Vanguard learnt, yesterday, was not unconnected with the
management style of the Vice Chancellor, which the members and indeed
the Chairman of Council felt was "inconsistent with modern liberal
practice of inclusive administration."
Sources close to the Chairman of council obliged that Ogunlewe, at an
interactive session with journalists at his Ogudu residence accused
the VC of witch-hunting staff of the institution, who have had cause
to serve past Vice Chancellors by making staff deployment and re-
deployment "inconsistent with the skills and experience of such staff
to the detriment of the institution.
"Much as our mandate does not allow us to interfere in the day to day
affairs of the university, it is our responsibility to speak out when
things are going awry in a way that the over all image of the
institution could be negatively affected.
"A good number of decisions that do not tally with the modern way of
administering a university have crept their ways into the university,
resulting in losing most of the best hands of the institution to
malicious postings and losing the university's external friends in
some painful cases," Ogunlewe said. Source: Vanguard Newspaper
