Alleged Certificate Fraudster, not our Rector- Osun Poly

Authorities of Osun  State Polytechnic, Iree have declared that the embattled Rector of a Polytechnic in Osun  State who is alleged to have been involved in certificates scandal is not the Rector of the Osun State Polytechnic Iree.

A release  signed  by the Registrar and Secretary to Council of the Osun State Polytechnic, Iree Barr. B.M Salawu indicated that  the name  of the Rector of the Osun State Polytechnic Iree is Dr Jacob Olusola  Agboola, but not Akinola  Olaolu, whose academic credentials were alleged to have been queried and denied by the  University of Lagos  and University of Ibadan respectivefully.

The release explained that though, Osun Poly is the acronym of  Osun  State  Polytechnic,  Iree but the alleged  Rector is the Chief Executive Officer, of The Igbajo  Polytechnic, a private owned  Community polytechnic in Boluwaduro Local  Government Area of the  State.

The release further states  that Dr Agboola has never  been involved in any certificate scandal. And for the avoidance of doubt, he explains that he (Agboola) posesses a Bachelor Degree from  Ahmadu Bello University  (ABU), Zaria, (1989) Master's Degrees from  University of Nigeria (UNN) Nsuka (1992) and  Ladoke Akintola University (2002), and a Doctorate  Degree from  Nnamdi  Azikwe University, Awka (2006).

controversies surrounding his academic qualifications.
