PROFESSOR Oyedamola Oke has been appointed as the acting Vice-Chancellor of Lagos State University.
He was appointed at an emergency meeting of the Senate of the institution, on Monday.
Before this appointment, Oyedamola was the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Administration at LASU.
THE POINT had reported that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu cancelled the process for the appointment of a Vice-Chancellor for the University, following thorough investigation and stakeholders engagement necessitated by various petitions against the selection process.
Sanwo-Olu therefore directed that a fresh process, which would terminate in 45 days, should commence immediately.
The outgoing Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun, was directed to convene an emergency Senate meeting to appoint one of the Deputy Vice-Chancellors, who was not a candidate in the cancelled selection process as Acting Vice-Chancellor from Monday, January 11, 2021.
The Governor further directed that the Senate should select among its members, “a pro tem chairman to superintend the meeting and conduct of the election of Acting Vice-Chancellor.”
