OSPOLY CRISIS: Acting Rector describes Odetayo’s return as ‘Forceful Invasion’, calls for calm
The Acting Rector of Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, Mr Kehinde Alabi has described the return of the Suspended Rector, Dr Tajudeen Odetayo as a forceful invasion, PUNCH reported.
The Acting Rector while calling for peace urged the members of staff to remain calm and go about their normal duties without any protest.
His words in a statement released as reported by PUNCH read in part;
“Following the forceful invasion of the office of the Osun State Polytechnic Iree’s Rector, by the suspended Rector of the institution, as the Acting Rector of the Polytechnic, I appeal to members of the Polytechnic Community to remain calm.”
“I urge you to remain calm and go about your normal duties without any protest. The government has taken steps to ensure that normalcy returns.”
Following the above development, the state government has shut down the institution, ordering the students and members of the staff to go on a two-week vacation, while the school account remains frozen.
Odetayo returns to the office as the rector, today following the decision of the Lagos Division of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, which granted an interim order restraining Governor Ademola Adeleke and 14 others from appointing a rector for the institution, while it also gave the order for Odetayo’s status quo to remain pending the outcome of the suit.
