The Governing Council of the University of Lagos, has confirmed the removal of the VC Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe from office.

A statement by the Registrar and Secretary to Council, Mr. Oladejo Azeez titled, “Notice to the General Public on the removal of the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos”, said the decision was based on alleged gross misconduct, financial recklessness, among others.

“The general public is hereby notified that at an emergency meeting held on Wednesday 12 August 2020 and in accordance with the statutory power vested in it by law, the Governing Council of the University of Lagos removed Prof. Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, FAS from office as Vice Chancellor of the University with immediate effect.

“The decision was based on the Council’s investigation of serious acts of wrongdoing, gross misconduct, financial recklessness, and abuse of office against Professor Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe,” the statement reads.

Meanwhile, the embattled Ogundipe has declared that he remains in office, while describing his removal as false.

According to him in a statement, the removal was a figment of the Registrar’s imagination.

It reads: “Notice to the General Public on the Removal of the Vice Chancellor, University of Lagos by Oladejo Azeez, Esq”.

“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,” the statement reads.
