… Urges stakeholders to disregard Council’s ‘misinformation’
THE Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, has described as mischievous the notice sent out by the Governing Council of the University, announcing his removal from office.
Ogundipe said the general public should disregard what he called “mischievous disinformation about the sitting Vice Chancellor.”
He said this in a statement he personally signed on Wednesday, titled, “Notice to the General Public on the Removal of the Vice Chancellor, University of Lagos by Oladejo Azeez, Esq”.
The embattled VC said, “The attention of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) management has been drawn to the ‘Notice to the General Public on the Removal of the Vice Chancellor, University of Lagos’; dated August 12, 2020 and signed by Oladejo Azeez, Esq, Registrar and Secretary to Council, stating that the current Vice Chancellor, Professor Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, FAS has been removed from office with immediate effect.
“This is untrue and a figment of his imagination. Therefore, stakeholders of Unilag and the general public are advised to disregard this mischievous disinformation about the sitting Vice Chancellor of Unilag, contained in that notice. Professor Ogundipe still remains Unilag’s Vice Chancellor.”
