BREAKING! Suspended UNILAG VC Ogundipe Vindicated, To Resume as VC

UNILAG VC Ogundipe

TheConscience reports that the suspended UNILAG VC Ogundipe has received his letter of reinstatement late Tuesday after being cleared of any wrongdoings, causing wild jubilation in the University community.

Professor Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, the embattled Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos was removed by the now disbanded Dr Wale Babalakin led Governing Council in August in the heat of a crisis ignited by what a source described as “more of financial tussle than any other”.

His removal had stirred massive protests by the University Senate, staff unions and other members of the community who had unanimously backed the embattled VC. Ogundipe was also later accused of financial misappropriations and spending beyond his approval limits.

However, a source very close to the now victorious UNILAG VC Ogundipe confirmed to TheConscience that Ogundipe has indeed now received his letter of reinstatement from the government on Tuesday in Abuja and was expected to return to Lagos on Wednesday.

TheConscience gathered that the embattled UNILAG VC Ogundipe was exonerated by the presidential panel that investigated the crisis that engulfed the institution due to the disagreement between him and popular businessman, Wale Babalakin, who was, until a few weeks ago, the Pro Chancellor/ Council Chairman.

As the drama unfolded, President Muhammadu Buhari, as visitor to the University, had removed Prof. Theophilus Soyombo, the Acting Vice Chancellor appointed by Babalakin to replace Ogundipe and appointed Prof Folashade Ogunsola to act as the VC pending the report of the visitation committee.
